Well people, Today I pulled the trigger,,,
And turned in my paperwork to retire from OK State University.
I started as a student in the Fall of 1998,,,
Then got hired as a student worker in the Spring of 2000.
I graduated with a BS in Occupational Education in December of 2001.
Then I started on a Masters degree in January of 2002,,,
I was hired as a graduate assistant that same month.
Graduated with a Masters in Curriculum Design in December of 2004,,,
I was hired as a full-time employee by my college in January of 2005.
So here I am, 15 years later, and saying it's time to "Call it a Career"
This is possibly the most unnerving thing I've ever done,,,
I'll turn 69 this November and haven't been out of a job (for more than a month) since I was 14.
I'm looking forward to not having an alarm clock wake me up,,,
But I also wonder how long I can go without a purpose before I go insane.
I wrote the intent to retire e-mail at 8:30 this morning,,,
Then stared at the send button for over an hour before I clicked it.
My life changed forever with one click of a mouse,,,
There's no turning back now.
