After 31 years
« on: January 29, 2011, 10:39:45 AM »
After 31 years with Post, yesterday I took a redundancy,,, :) :) :) :)

I finished yesterday.  I can't take the smile off my face (even with a terrible hangover).

Anyone have a good hangover cure ?


regards Slip

Welcome to the world of grey nomads Slipus.  I haven't regretted the break - 3 trips overseas and a 3 month trip (so far) across the top end.

Best cure for hangover - pitch tent unfold chair - sit down and open a can .. Sip slowly savouring every drop ...  :cup:

CONGRATS !!!!

I have 30+ years with my current employer and hope they give me the 'golden handshake' as well.

All the best...

Aww man, congrats slipus!!  I have about another 31 years before I retire  :'( Have an awesome time whatever you decide to do.  I can imagine how good it would feel waking up and thinking "gotta go to work" and then remembering that you're retired 'Woohoo'  ;D
