On 4/8/16 @ 1:45 pm CST after a wonderful luncheon I walked out of my office as a new RETIREE !!   Almost 17 yrs at this job, a Nurse for 40 years, I was a bit nervous about my decision but once I pulled off the lot I turned the sound up on my favorite  radio station (much higher than normal) and drove home singing and moving to the music. What an Awesome feeling !!  I never have to work again..

Congratulations!  I walked out of my office a few months ago too and retired.  I had a lot of personal and vacation days, so I just left the same day I told my boss.....On a Monday, no less.

 

The feeling is wonderful..... Enjoy your new found time for everything.

congratulations! and wow-a nurse for 40 years! That is a job and service well done for sure!

I bet even if you liked what you did, it will be a wonderful feeling not to HAVE to go in to work, especially the days you really wish you didn't have to!

Turn up that volume all your heart desires!

Have a great new morning and many more!

I walked out the door and retired in January 1998.  I've thoroughly enjoyed being a slug ever since.  I keep my own strange schedule and do as I wish when I want to do it.  I highly recommend it.

@Goodie2shoes  Congratulations on your retirement, that's awesome.

 It's a wonderful feeling, especially after you were a nurse for 40 years, you deserve to enjoy, laugh and have fun now and every day.
