Monday was supposed to be my last working day, but there was a problem with the number of vacation days that I had. It would have gotten me to only Jan 23 and I needed to retire on the 24th, when I turn 65. I just worked the extra day/Tuesday. No biggie.That was very thoughtful of them. Was that your last working day?
They gave me a really nice gift card to Trader Joe's as a retirement gift. They thought of all kinds of gifts. But then one of the guys said, "Look, she's a foodie. She'll love a TJ's card!" And I do!
My boss gave me my Christmas gift early. He said he normally doesn't outright tell people what to buy with their money. But then he said, "I'm making an exception for you. Buy books. Please, just buy books. I don't care if you spend it all on one book, two books, or however many books. Just buy books." My guys at work know me well. I was truly blessed with wonderful co-workers.
