Repent, The End is Nearing...

08/30/2011

Hallelujah!  There is just 155 days (or so, if my math is correct) to my final workday.  The decision is made, there is no further wavering to be done.  I have informed my boss and my decision is irrevocable.  Ta Da!!!

I did have to deal with some indecision, but only briefly.  The thought of continuing on is simply not tenable, not conscionable, and unacceptable.  That kind of sums it up simply with a nice bow on it.

Retirement mode has hit me and hit me hard.  I struggle to motivate myself to get the job done, and that is really something with which I have never had to contend with before.  It is tough to concentrate on the job, so I have to slap myself around from time to time.  Fortunately, I have people, good people that work for me and are self-motivators.

The world will not end on January 31st.  I know my company will continue to move forward, and its business will come back as the economy corrects itself (it always has), but it will just have to adjust to not having me around to muck (correct spelling) things up any longer.

So, here I sit counting down the days, “X-ing” each one off the calendar and doing a little dance as the number of days to go trickles down.  I just wish I could speed them up a little.

And that is all I have to say about that…
