    I'm free!

    Hello gang!

    Today was the last day I worked for "someone else".

    14 years on the same job...feels a bit odd now.

    I guess I need to chill down for a week or two, after that I'll start building my own business...many ideas, lots of work and a very uncertain future.

    It was charming....I received many gifts and cards from my co workers...really sweet. From my bosses I got a weekend in a lovely hotel and two dinners in a scotish restaurant near the hotel.

    I'm "free" now, but I'm also scared....and I feel very odd. 46 years old and a new start...pretty scary.

    Cheers to the kilt and cheers to you all!

    Stand tall, walk straight, and look the world in the eye - I'm sure you'll relish your new adventure.

    Best of Luck!

    Thumbs up New Start

    I started all over again at 52. That was eight years ago. I couldn't be happier.

    Congrat Robin! You will do well. Any man that can follow the beat of the kilt in everyday life is destined to suceed.

    Congratulation Robin,

    I went out on my own 11 Years ago, loving every minute of working for myself. Even the slow times as well as the times when I wonder where all the hours went that day.
