As of today, I am, (drum roll, please) ta-da! Almost officially retired.😞 So, the Secretary of Energy generously gave us a 3 hour early release for the holiday (thank you Ernie if you read this) and since my wife and I usually work until 5:30 we figured, hey, nobody will care if we leave a half hour early. So, since the last thing we need to do is check out through the badging office to turn in our stinking badges, we figured leaving at 2:00 was a great idea. Since the badging office is at the opposite of the building from where we work, my wife was going to push me there in my "medical transport chair". We get to the badging office and there's a sign on the door, "we are closing at 1:00 today, happy thanksgiving". Oh, f' me! How typical for this place! So, we need to go in Friday, just to turn in our badges and probably have to say the oath of office backwards in order to be officially retired. Ah, the government, nothing like it.🐨
