    Happy New Year

    Just wanted to wish everyone here a Healthy, Happy New Year. Hope all goes well for you.

    AND: wooohooo

    Today I walked out of work and went home for the last time. As of midnight New Years day I am officially retired. My 2010 calendar has 52 weeks of which there are 6 Saturdays and one Sunday a week.

    Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

    And, a very special Happy New Year to you Bernie!! I predict that within 3 months, you will wonder how you had enough time on your hands to actually have a job!!! Your "to do" list will get longer and longer! Enjoy, my friend - you deserve the rest.

    Have a Happy and Healthy New Year Bernie!


    While I never worked for the FAA, I worked air traffic control maintenance for 6 years and worked with the FAA and even maintained some of their equipment at one naval air station.

    I know and appreciate the stress and pressures you have endured in your professional career. You deserve a long and healthy retirement, my friend!

    May it be so!
    Ken

    So much to learn, so little time.....

    Thanks one and all. I truly hope it is a good New Year for everyone.

    Ken you are right about the stress and being the supervisor for 7 years just tripled the stress level. The politics made it even worse. When it isn't fun to go to work it is time to walk.

    John I have been told that I will soon ask myself how did I have time for work. Thats good because I don't like sitting still anyway.

    Steve I hope to do some bowl coring soon. I have a new oneway system that is still new in the box. So many things I always wanted to do but so little time. Plus I have about 40 clocks that need repaired in my shop so I need to get started getting those done.

    Oh and my son said on his facebook that his dad was retiring and that after 4 decades he now has a new boss, "MOM" with a 42 yr honey-do list.

    Happy New Year to you too, Bernie, and the same to everyone else!

    And congratulations on the retirement. Lucky! I've only got another 30 years or so to go.
