My mom who just turned 69 retired last week! An ICU nurse for 30 years.

New one is a gold plated B! She micromanages. She tells us we can not be trusted. Ever day there are multiple nasty, rude emails telling us we are incompetent dolts. The time has come for me to pull the plug and retire.

The pieces are all falling into place. I needed to sell my mom's house before I retire. There is a contract on it. We should close by the end of the month.I signed up for social security th start Jan 1. I signed up for Medicare part B. Talked to my insurance guy who will get me on an advantage plan when the time comes.

I'm feeling good about myself getting everything lined up. Jan 4th I plan to tell the Queen B she can kiss my backside and give notice.

Hope this sale works out.

As for Queen B; yes, she will have her day. I used to work with someone like that, she felt threatened so did her utmost to make my life miserable because she knew I could do her job. Even resorted to telling lies to her boss.

New company owners and CEO made her an offer she couldn't refuse. I got her job on a temporary basis and unsurprisingly she kicked off. Let her have "moment in the sun" before calmly telling she put the course (and cause) of women in business back 50 years". Following day, one sales manager congratulated me on having the guts to say what others had been afraid to.

What goes around, comes around!

If there aren't any major problems with the inspection the closing on mom's house is scheduled for Jan 5th. I plan to give notice at work Jan 4th.

Cross your fingers for me folks.

All crossed. I’d love to see the look on the Queen B’s face the day you hand that in!

I’d wait for inspection first. Hand your resignation letter on the 5th or 6th

Divine, the inspection is this week. I'll know before the 4th if the house did not pass.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
