time to call it quits.
After a 30 year career at Verizon, at midnight tonight, I am officially
RETIRED!
Started out at 19 yrs old when it was NY Telephone. Then became NYNEX, then Bell Atlantic, and finally Verizon. Its pretty surreal. Still cant believe it. I couldn't wait to leave. I thought it would have been real easy. But honestly it was extremely tough this afternoon, leaving what was basically my second home for all these years. Packing up and closing my office door for that last time really got to me.
Gonna miss the people I worked with. Many who have become very close friends.
My boss, who has done more for me over the years, than anyone I know will be missed the most. He was a godsend.
On the bright side, no more sucky commute sitting in traffic, no more gas and bridge tolls. Time to move on to better things.
