Awww, another old friend gone. 63, so young.
Hate watching them go. We all lived a tough but fun life.
1:07 PM Sassy
Oh that is sad. Military guy?
1:08 PM Phil
Yeah, served with him and great guy. Cancer strikes again.
1:09 PM Sassy
Cancer sucks.
1:12 PM Phil
Yea, it sure does.
My uncle has a tumor in his brain that they can’t do anything with, my pooch has tumor that they can’t get to even for a biopsy. We just wait and hope for the best.
1:13 PM Sassy
Oh dear…so sorry to hear that
1:39 PM Phil
Praying for the best on all fronts.
1:41 PM Sassy
In better news, my pal who has been out of work since April got a job offer today!

Happy Friday kid!
Headed to another 5 hour retirement seminar!
7:20 AM Phil
I have no tips since I have failed miserably at retirement. Another five years for me.
7:23 AM Sassy
I was thinking about the last months in a job, how to go out in style, ease the transition for them, prep so the new person can take over etc
7:35 AM Sassy
I haven’t left a job on my own terms since 1985!
8:52 AM Phil
I am having to prep for turnover as well. So much to do
1:10 PM Sassy
I split the transition into five goals:
1) Increased documentation of tasks and timelines,
2) clean up paper archives,
3) cross-train colleagues,
4) discuss revision of job description and
5) Get electronic documents where they belong (get personal stuff off work computers, get work stuff off home computer to work computer)
2:34 PM Phil
I need to do all of those as well, but need the pace to slow enough so I have a hope of getting to even one
2:36 PM Sassy
I hear you. I have 10 months and still not sure if I will get it done
7:44 PM Sassy

The Red Sox hurler hit the 200-strikeout mark in 136 innings, faster than any MLB pitcher this season and also faster than any other pitcher in AL history.

Good morning Philip!
Headed to the gynecologist! Whee.
You know I’d rather you were down there.
11:00 AM Sassy
Excuse me while I rant but… Oh man… that doctor was a jerk in three directions! I am NEVER going to see him again. *sigh
1) I go in to get a routine pap smear and his first question is about… my weight? WTF? I’ve heard lots of women complain about that but never faced it myself. Dude… I have experts helping with that. I’ve lost 40 pounds in the last few years. Do your thing and STFU! And
2) I told him having this test is painful so if he could do it quickly, I’d appreciate it. So he left the damn thing inside me for over 10 minutes,
3) while he berated the nurse helping out because she’s new and didn’t do things exactly as he is used to. Three strikes… YOU”RE OUT!

I went to HR today to talk about retirement next year. My theories are correct! Looks like I can go anytime after May 1!
3:51 PM Phil
Good for you! I’m not close to being ready for that. I need the mental engagement. Another five years for me. I can afford to retire but I still want the challenge. My boss is a moron and a no ethics fuck but I think I still get to make a difference.
3:53 PM Sassy
I may end up doing something new. We’ll see. But I need to get away from my boss and the daily grind. May volunteer or go part-time somewhere.
3:57 PM Phil
That would be fun! I’m going to work at Disney World next
3:58 PM Sassy
In a goofy costume.
3:58 PM Phil
I’d love to have four hours a day to work out and several hours to read. I could sell plants at Home Depot and be happy doing that
I don’t fit the costume. Gotta be itty bitty. I could pour beer at Epcot in Germany though
3:59 PM Sassy
Oh my… I can see you chatting up the tourists and having a blast.
4:00 PM Phil
Or perhaps driving a boat
4:16 PM Sassy
Go for the a/c.
