I worked from home today. That is my normal schedule on Wednesdays, but this is not a normal Wednesday. The day before a holiday means there are fewer people working than normal. One of our goals at work is to always have at least one manager there in person, in case. I was checking with other managers to be sure someone was planning to be on site. One asked whether I should go in, just to experience my last Thanksgiving Eve at work.
One of the increasing “lasts” that keep popping up.
I have my last annual review on the horizon. I am not concerned about this review. What are they going to do? Fire me?!
I was also pursuing our bienial budget document, set to be adopted on Monday. I was almost taken aback when I looked at the organization chart.
I guess it’s just starting to feel more real. But that means I need to get my work done!😵💫

How did I miss that you’re retiring? Congratulations!!

My retirement timing has been up in the air for a few years. One thing I feel I have to do is finish a big project. It’s atypical because it’s gathering data (lots of data) into databases that can be mined for information about fees owing, or not, for new water or sewer service. I know where the information is buried, and not many others (basically no one left working) has the ability to find it, easily. Because it’s creating the databases and flow charts to lead through the maze of information, the time it will take to finish is anybodies guess. I have been working to transfer all of the other things I do to others. But it can seem overwhelming at times.
OK, that was a dump of thoughts.

Don’t wait too long. I had do my last annual review during my exit interview.

My annual is in the next week or so. The question is whether I’ll make it to the midyear.
