It's Official....I am losing my job.
I got my severance package today. My last day will be August the 15th. After 23 years with the same company I am free! We are taking that severance, selling up here and moving to the UK to buy a pub. Anyone coming over to lift a pint or two?

:toast:

1. call it 'freed from my job!' instead of losing it!
sounds like a great plan, if we end up going next year, I'll look you up for a pint!

I'm not sure whether to say I'm sorry or if I should congratulate you on your new venture. So I'll say both!

:party:

5. It's definitely congratulations.....
We have been planning this for two years. The company just made it a lot nicer with the package.

Cheers to you for having a plan of attack already in place!
