    Career Concluded!

    Today is my last official day as an employee of the US Postal Service! My last actual working day was Thursday. So, I now enter the ranks of retired Gentlemen of Leisure! (Though, I'm looking for some minimal part-time position to get out out of the house a few hours each week, and for beer & bullets money.)

    I could've stayed on until mailman kilts became a reality, but... naaahhh...!

    Congrats on your retirement Brian. Hopefully the to-do-list doesn't eat up too much of your new found free time. ;)
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

    Congratulations Brian! Well earned I'm sure.

    I'll be following you into retirement in 62 more days. Can't come soon enough for me.

    Congrats. You'll enjoy it. And a part time job will be great if you can find something meaningful to you.

    After 40 years federal service, I went. Have never regretted it, but when they asked me if I'd come back part time... well, yes. 3 days a week is usually perfect.
