Resigned to my fate

[ffutures]

Wrote my resignation / retirement letter tonight, I'll be handing it in tomorrow. They want to start interviewing, and it'll make things simpler if I've actually resigned, I think.

Huge relief to get it written, somehow.

Do you have a new position lined up?

[ffutures]

Which part of retirement are you having trouble with?

[resonant]

The not doing stuff part ... without something structured in my life, I'd never get out of bed.

[ffutures]

Oh, I've got plenty of things to do - but for myself, not for an employer.

Did you manage to avoid the words 'Up' 'Arse' 'Your' 'Stuff' and 'It'? If so, congratulations! And hurrah for imminent spare time.

I went for boring instead - and it's not that bad a job anyway, I get to blow things up occasionally, so why be rude?

[gonzo21]

That's good to hear, I understand a lot of people who work in schools hate it so much they start counting the days to go with years left.

Oh, can you get someone to re-copy it in calligraphy? With a wax seal? If you're going to resign, you should do it in style.

Looking forward to a flood of Forgotten Future supplements in the, er, future. ;p

No, I didn't think of that for some reason. Remiss of me, I'm sure.

I'm hoping that more leisure will mean higher output, since I've been VERY blocked for a while, we'll have to see what happens.

Congratulations! A bit under 2 years for me until I'm planning to do likewise.

Congrats - we can all be old fogies!
