I told my director yesterday that I will definitely be retiring at year end. He has already notified HR and NA logistics leadership and will soon post my job to hire a replacement. I've been talking about it for almost a year. It's nice to finally have a set finish line.

So, I'm officially a short-timer, counting down the days until the next phase.

I’ve been working for almost 55 years. I’m a little nervous but it’s definitely time.
