I only do what the majority of the 4 voices in my head tell me to. In most cases, I ignore two of them because one doesn't speak English, and I suspect the other is talking to someone else.

Re: It's Official..........................................
Congratulations 2 Sticky. 
I've been officially retired on May 1st. I thought that when you retire. You have a lot of free time. Damn, I haven't stopped. Between remodeling the kitchen, building a retaining wall in the back yard, and just getting back from a sports car meet in Deals Gap NC. I'm tired. Just signed up for obombacare. It sucks. I made to much this year. Because of that, I get no breaks. Also the county I live in doesn't help either.

Re: It's Official..........................................
Thanks everyone. It was AWESOME !!! No one knew shit. I work/ed 3-11 pm. I waited till 9:30 pm, had someone relieve me at my post, went to the Admin bldg, said "I'm done, today is my last day- here is my schedule of the sick time/vac time/PL time that i am using for the next month." They were blown away. Everyone wanted to shake my hand. I shook some but one Sgt, I said no way- I ain't shaking your hand. He said why not. I said your an asshole & i never liked you, PLUS, your voting for Hillary, so no, I ain't shaking your hand !!! Everyone else laughed. They let me go early & just walked out. AWESOME !!!

I'm glad that corrections officer in the news wasn't you. I was worried for a little while, but it seemed to be the wrong job description and a little far north.

Congrats on the retirement! I'll tell you this...I haven't worked for 10 years and the worst day I've had since is much better than any day I had working.
