Time to make the announcement

Depending on the reaction I get, I have 28 or 38 more days to go.  I had the week off and enjoyed it thoroughly.  Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, so needless to say this was a great week of lounging, waiting for Thanksgiving dinner, buying a new artificial Christmas tree as well as a live tree; helping mend the Christmas blow-ups and generally 'practicing' for retirement.

In the past, a week like this would have me itching to get back to work, but that's not the case.  So on Monday, I will go to HR and tell them of my decision to retire as of 1/1/13.   There are 3 things that will happen:

1 - They will accept my decision and my last day of work will be the end of the year.   I'm hoping it would be 12/21, with getting paid for my earned holidays and taking my last 2 personal days between the holidays.

2 - They will accept my decision and my last day of work with be 12/21 and I will not get paid for my holidays.

3 - They will say thanks, but no thanks and ask me to leave immediately.  That would be a really, really shitty thing to do, but I have no faith or trust in our management anymore, so this is the scenario I am preparing for.
I'm not OK with it, but I fully expect it.  so we'll see.

Well, back to enjoy the rest of my holiday weekend.... I will definitely write next week and let you know how they reacted.

'til next time,
