A quick step closer

Well, today I am one giant step closer to my retirement.  We have agreed on who will be hired to replace me (it will be official tomorrow) and, if she agrees to the proposed schedule, she will start on February 2.  Then, after one to two weeks of overlap, I will walk (skip, hop, run, boogie) on out of there two weeks earlier that originally estimated.  The fact that in this next three weeks I will finish the Annual Report, the next newsletter and two brochures, clean out all my paper and computer files and bring my replacement up to speed will make the leaving so much easier.
