Finally took the BIG step (after a few tears), to take retirement on the grounds of ill health, (still sounds rather bizarre still at the age of 44yrs). Lots of forms to fill in a `hoops`to jump through (no doubt), before I get there; however I will not be returning to work in September to work at the college.
Well on the plus side:
- no more meetings that go on and on, then someone dares to pose a question just as the meeting is about to close!
- no more lazy (and sometimes very good), students to persuade to meet assignment targets etc.
- no more marking and re-marking of assignments.
- no work deadlines to meet etc.
However I have had a really positive working experience at this college and will miss the colleagues that have supported me, laughed with me and been a great working team. Raise a glass to the `A team`!!
Hi Kathryn,
ReplyDeleteI don't really know what the right words are and if I mess it up I'm sorry.
I just can't imagine what it must be like trying to make a decision like that. But a least you do have the fond memories and there's probably not may people that can really say that about their work.
And anyway how would you have the time to work if you are employed by your husband to paint all those little people!!!!!!!
Take care of you!!
