Re: All good things must end!
Bill,
Congratulations. I know making the decision to retire is a tough one. I worked with a fellow that agonized about whether to retire or not for over a year. In my profound wisdom, I told him that it was an easy decision, just do it. About 16 - 18 months after he retired I saw him in one of the local "Big Boys Toy Stores" and offered him my profound apologies because I discovered that it was a lot harder to make that retirement decision, when making it for yourself rather than for someone else.
Retirement from the wife's perspective - "Half as much money and twice as much husband."
Have a great retirement.
Bill

Re: All good things must end!
Thanks for the kind words fellas. Rosie and I are looking forward to doing a lot of things around the barnyard as well as traving a bit more when our schedule allows.
It was a little hard to say goodbye the last couple of days. I made one last tour through the building hoping to meet as many of the folks as I could. Most either knew me by name or face but never put the two together. I seemed to get a lot of "So you're that guy" comments. Since I once had overseen the security unit of our building I made it a point to visit each of the officers at their posts to thank them. At a couple of my stops the officer would mention they appreciated that I took the time to visit. They said in the past, most retirees that had worked in the department would just slip out the door without saying anything. I always tried to let my employees know how they were doing, good or bad. I always felt you had a better team when they knew where they stood.
My administrative assistant (I sometimes slipped and called her a secretary, but she understood) has always been a bit camera shy, but at the going away party they held for me she handed her camera to another employee and asked for a picture with me.
Cathy is a top notch person and knows how to do just about everybody's position in our department. I have an idea who will be replacing me and I recommended to my boss that she be the one to fill that person's job if it came open. I think he was listening to me for a change.
Anyway, I now plan to slowly bring some of my Cubs out of hibernation and see what I can do with them. I may even have time to open a little parts outlet now that Ralph has left the business. The last time I looked I had plenty of candidates for the hook.

There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Re: All good things must end!
I am sure you will keep busy and enjoy all retirement has to offer. I am in my 27th year with the state, but am too young to retire or so they tell me. at this point I am looking forward to joining you in maybe 5 or so years. Best wishes.

Re: All good things must end!
this is the first time I have ever seen Barnyard without a cap. Almost didn't recognize him. Congratulations Bill, I hope you enjoy your retirement as much as I have mine. I worked 40+ years as an electronics technician and really liked what I was doing most of the time. Like in any job, there have been times I was not happy, either due to who I was working for or where I was working, but for the last 20 or so years I had a great job and fantastic people I worked with, and the customers I was dealing with. Due to health problems I had to retire a few years earlier than I planned, but I had made plans even for that, and while I don't have much money to waste I have finances to cover everything I need, and most things I want.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!
you are part of the problem!!!

Re: All good things must end!
Congrats, Bill. I'm glad you could go out on YOUR terms. I regret the last company I worked for sold their assets and one day it ceased to exist (and so did my job). However, I don't regret being retired now.
Again, congratulations and tell Rosie that Candy understands.

Re: All good things must end!
Congratulations Bill. But knowing you, you're going to be busy busy. It must feel good to not have to commute to work and punch in. I can only imagine what's going to happen now that you have more time around the ol' barnyard ! You're certainly not a person who sits a lot !

I only went there so I could get some sleep and finance my Cub fetish.
