The Last Day


Recommended Posts

I just posted over on ΩForums, but thought I'd share here as well.

 

After 28 years in the military and 22 years working for a Defence contractor, I thought it was time to hang up the guns.

Today was my last day of full time work. My occupation will now be described as "retiree".
I had a morning tea with close workmates and then headed home at about 10:30.

I got home and to my surprise my Darlin' had taken the day off and prepared a "Retirement Package" for me.

I added the presentation picture from work and took a pic of the bounty.

I think I can get used to this.

Jim enjoy your new found freedom.

PS the Black Label is very,very moorish 

 

Thanks CB, I'm slowly getting used to it, starting with a nice chocolate stout before dinner. And you are right, Black Label is nice, but...............

Er, it's not Black Label Geo, it's the Blue one. And much as I appreciate your subtle hint to help me dispose of, I must reluctantly decline. ;)

Welcome to the wonderful world of retirement,  no clock to punch,  no traffic to fight through,  do what you like within reason,  what's not to like?

 

I notice the photo of the type 42 ? destroyer,  have you worked with these?

Congrats !!

You are a lucky man :) Enjoy your retirement and take it easy !!

 

PS : my parents, both retired, have time for nothing. Between friends, social gatherings, clubs, restaurants and trips, we (the kids) are fortunate to see them a handful of times a year !!!!

    • Hello and welcome from Leeds,England.  Ask away. 
    • What cutter are you using can you video the action 
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement. 
    • if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
