After 48 years of full time, 40+ hours a week work, today was my last day.
The company threw me a lunch at a fancy restaurant.
Management and long time employees got up and said nice things about me, and I said nice things about them.
Lots of people (who never said boo to me) talked about how I'll be missed.
It was nice, but I'm glad to be free of the responsibilities.

It took me a year to get used to it. I now wish I’d been able to earlier. Congrats

Congrats!
It's been a week for me after 40 years. This week just seemed like I was on vacation. I hope that you have many happy and healthy years ahead of you.

You guys do know that you're supposed to sit around in your underwear & eating Captain Crunch for a week or two, then make pans.

I returned to work Jan 16 after a 4.5 month hiatus with intent to retire in mid-February. The first day, barely two hours in, the vexation of it all set right in. I cannot get outta there fast enough. 45+ years on the same job is plenty long enough. Hat’s off to those who have gone before me.
