I got fired just like that, except I had to work 38 yrs. Been getting
that monthly check for 20 yrs next check (July) I've had a ball! My
June check is in the Bank!

Good Luck and a Happy Life

Tom,
Please be advised that I didn't get fired. As I stated before, my sarcastic
"fired" reply was to the Boob's comment about my early retirement.
In January I accepted an early retirement offer that my company made to
every employee ofer 50. 1400 people in total. I checked with my financial
advisor, lawyer and friends who had seen similar offers at other companies.
They all confirmed that it was a very generous offer. I took it and so did 94%
of the people that were eligible. I had paid my house off early years ago
after seeing the first reorg. frenzy sweep the country even though I was
untouched. My 3 kids have all graduated from college and I have no major
bills. I own my boat. I don't need a job. I don't need to take wedding
photos on weekends. I don't need to sell other peoples junk boat parts on
ebay.

Cool. And young people are complaining that old geezers aren't getting
out of the way fast enough. Glad to see you're doing your part

So, are you going to work with Steve at the Sailing Center? I'd love to
do something like that.

And none of them moved back in with you? Excellent. Some friends of mine
are struggling with the boomerang issue.

photos on weekends.


Going to other people's weddings strikes me as the most boring PITA that
could be imagined.

Ah, you cleared out your garage then? I just sold something on E-Bay a
while ago and am thinking of selling some more stuff.

No, I told all of them that when I get old I'm going to live with each one of
them for 4 months out of the year.

I'm spending a relaxing spring at the boatyard and getting caught up on some
projects around the house. I might look for something in the fall. I just
know that I don't want another "corporate" gig. I'm sick of monthly reports
and meetings in north Jersey. The only thing I miss is the company car. Well
not the car but the no payments and 0 gas bill.

I've pretty much cleand out my garage but I'm still working on the basement.
I've probably done over 60 ebay transactions since January. The thing is
unlike the Boobster I don't need ebay to pay bills.

Boobster that's one line of work you can get.
