I was really, truly fortunate to get that early retirement offer.
In retrospect it was such a life bonus that I so wasn’t expecting.
But at the time, I was sort of put off because I was essentially being bought out. I’d worked difficult inside the commercial Heating & A/C of that office for more than 35 years plus hastily, I’m hauled into the big bosses office. I’d only been in there a few times as it was in a unusual office building some 3 eighths away from the office I worked in. His office was plush plus came with its own temperature control. The view was spectacular but I had little time to prefer it as I was trying to process what was happening. The boss started off with all kinds of praise of a task well done plus all that. That’s when I started covered in sweat a bit inside that zone controlled Heating & A/C. It didn’t take long before he got to the area that he wanted to offer myself and others early retirement. Had I not taken the offer, I would have to be reassigned to another position plus take a big pay cut. The early retirement offer meant that there’d be about a 10 percent loss on the payout of our retirement package over its entirety. But when I did the math, it just made more sense to retire plus take the money. Turns out that was the best thing that ever happened. We moved to the south plus I was able to prefer a lot more life before I started slowing down. I’m still enjoying these days however with just more residential Heating & A/C in our life. Thanks to the ductless heat pump in our sunroom, I still recognize love I’m active plus outside all day.
