Well after two failed attempts, I have finally pulled the plug on the work scene for the last time I hope.
Even this on had some drama. I gave the company my letter in July and they almost begged me to stay until 9/30 so I did. In August I sold 236% of quota for the quarter which qualified me for a nice bonus. Company policy is you must be employed to get paid so my boss had me sit home for the month of October and "consult". They still did not get the bonus paid so they were going to have me "consult" for another month but I think someone finally did the math and realized it was costing them about $6500 a month for me to stay home so they caved and are going to pay me the bonus on the 10th of Nov and let me retire as of yesterday.
My wonderful wife woke me up this morning and made me go take a picture of the sunrise ( supposedly some tradition for retirement ) so I made myself a bloody beer saluted the sunrise and went back to bed
Looking forward to doing nothing for a few days then starting on building an outdoor kitchen.
