A co-worker quit yesterday. No indication given beforehand that he was thinking that way. He had the weekend off and apparently decided that was it, he wasn't coming back. I think that you have to admire that. That's how I want to go out. Just decide one day that I've had enough. Maybe be standing there, not paying attention as someone is bitching at me and suddenly turn and walk away, get in my car and drive off. No retirement potluck. No cake and ice cream. No sad goodbyes. I've witnessed the parties and observed people making the rounds, going from person to person saying goodbye and have always thought that it all was so sad looking. Certainly not for me. I prefer to one day just be suddenly gone .... the subject of wild speculation and rumors.
P.S. .... David, I hope that you enjoy whatever is ahead for you. Be it retirement, another job, a retreat to a simpler lifestyle or whatever you might be looking towards.
