fredbassettAfter 26 years (all working for the same firm), I have today retired! I'll be doing consultancy for my firm for a while, but it's not office based, so as of now, I have escaped the Dog Pound and am running around in excitement flapping my ears and behaving badly already!!!
A humongous thanks to all my LJ friends who have given me so much support over my last couple of years at work, and who have stuck with me through some difficult times, and have never failed to cheer me up when I've been down in the dumps!
My last day was lovely, with loads of lovely leaving presents (I've never left anywhere before, so that was a new experience!), and I still have my official retirement party to come on Monday evening.
The way this weekend has been planned out, it looks like I don't have to cook again until Tuesday, as we're having a meal out with friends tonight, another one on Sunday, and we're at a friend's house for dinner tomorrow night. I think I could get used to this retirement lark!

Date: 2009-09-04 03:10 pm (UTC)One of my clients told me he'd known me longer than any of his wives and I'm the only woman in his life who's never caused him any trouble! I was highly amused by that.
