Nearly there!

Interesting week at work!
Sat down today and worked out that I actually have 40 working days left in the job.
I have decided not to have a leaving do when I go. Whilst Ive done some exceptional leaving speeches over the years myself (self confidence was never an issue!), Ive decided to just go quietly and turn off the light as I go.Actually hoping noone realises Ive actually gone on the particular date..hehe.The family (my mates), will be coming to a do we've booked the first Saturday after my official retirement date in July.I might have some select mates to a small garden party but havent decided yet.
People at work have been asking me what's happening and its quite amusing to tell them Im going quietly.All protest that I cant! So funny. It would have been different if Id still been in Brighton, Im not and thats now how I feel and Ive long ago decided to do things for my reasons not to ingratiate etc with others.I know what those closest to me feel and thats the bottom line and its the way I want to do it.
I have however driven 200 miles since Monday all over Sussex..even though its nice in the new BM.I wont miss innocuously driving round the County trying to miss the peak times on the A27 West! Off on the Public Order Commanders regional seminar tomorrow 6am pickup..phew..me doing early turn..whats going on. Do I need to go? someone asked ..well its not what I take from it its what I give to it after 30 years of doing it of which Im really proud. I dont suspect many of them delivered on the G20 now did they! so we shall see what the academics think the direction should be! In best Mills shrinking violet style I'll voice an opinion Im sure.
