....but I'm not counting. It's getting harder and harder to keep my opinions about stupid stuff to myself.

Lord, please help me keep my mouth shut for 22 more days!

Sounds terrific...your getting very close to complete freedom! The time will pass quickly, and anytime a controversial topic or incident arises...quickly imagine that you have just made a cast into a likely sweet spot at your favorite fishing destination and you saw a giant bass move in the direction of your offering!

It's hard not to speak up when you're right but what the hell, on your last day you can let all out at oncešŸ˜¬ Hang in there buddy, you can do three weeks standing on your head.šŸ‘

Amen to that. Congrats to you brother. Hang in there and don't say something you shouldn't.
The casino I worked for for 22 years, cheap bastards, I had 5 weeks of vacation time a year at 20 years with the company. Anyway, my last year there, I took ALL 5 weeks and went to see my daughter graduate from Army boot camp. After boot camp we went to Myrtle Beach for a couple days and then we took her to her tech school. Somewhere in Georgia I had 2 weeks left and I called the 800 number free and gave my 2 week notice. Got back to Tahoe and cleaned out my locker and left without sayin bye to anyone.
Too long of a story but lets just say you find out who your friends are when the chips are down. Some of them I had worked with over 20+ years and thought they were friends. OH well. I survived and moved on without them.

Congratulations on your retirement.
I did just shy of 45 years there, donā€™t miss it a bit.
