A major life change

[ScottM]

I will share the specific here only as I do not want to start a thread that will go down hill. Today the IBM gods decided to include me in the latest round of resource actions. That is the way IBM refers to lay-offs. As I am retirement eligible I will be in pretty good shape. The timing leaves me a year short of my goal but I will be able to manager. So starting April 1 I will join the other retiree on the site. NO one should be sorry for me. I had a great career and I am now looking forward to my retirement.

BTW this change does not change my plans to not run for BoD this year. I really need some time off.

Glad you have planned well enough to be able to cope with this. Good luck.

Good for you!

Now get that scroll saw fired up and do what you like to do.

If it is any consolation, there will be no more meetings, no more travel, no more conference calls, no more emails, no more bosses to set your schedule -- believe me, you'll learn to love it in the first day of your retirement! I cannot believe that I have now been retired for 8 years! Aren't you glad you had to make your move up to the lake when you did!!!

Hey Scott!
I wanna feel sorry for you!
Sorry you no longer will have to make it to work on time, get up to be there on time, feel like you have to go even when you don't feel like it, you know all the things that make WORK work!
I send every hope for some well deserved rest and relaxation.
