[QUOTE="Shiftless, post: 2252210, member: 47472"] Monkey Butt, cool exit letter/e-mail. My exit was was very low tech. Being a feeder driver when I drove into the yard where my supervisor worked from ( I was based in an outlying center) he and the district Manager where there doing a BBQ for my last day. Handed me a plaque and let me even have a slice of cake. And did the pictures and handshake thing. The DM who I did not know, had to ask me "are you really on 49 years old?" He was very polite and said good for you! Then said, I have a lot of time left myself. Here is the interesting part (at least for me) I had told guys for years I'm not working one day past what is needed to grab my peer 80 and SCRAM! During this last day with many drivers I have known coming in and out of the hub walking over saying "hey what's going on?" Then they hear I'm retiring and this is my last day. So many we're slack jawed and asking me how the heck did this happen? But offered sincere expressions of happiness on my retirement. Or if they were close to me during this period (As we move in and out if each other's life's during our career) they just were very genuine with their comments. The common thread of our relationships thru out the years was a topic most brought up. But the overwhelming comment was " I am no where ready to retire, I just haven't even planned this retirement thing yet" which just blew me away so many that were 10 sometimes 15 years older than I hadn't given purposeful thought to retirement. I enjoyed my employment at UPS! Had its ups and downs. Worked with and for, some very nice people. [/QUOTE]
