Monday, my boss took me and the other trainers to dinner at Northwoods Inn.  It is one of my favorite places to eat and a great place to go for celebrations and we were celebrating my birthday and my retirement. 

On the previous Thursday, in our management meeting I was given a party and presented with retirement gifts.  We talked about what the Center was like in the early days, and we reminisced about all of the good times and a lot of the folks said some nice things about me too. I trained many of them when they first came to work at the Phone Bank.

I have worked with many of these folks for over 25 years and I will miss not seeing them everyday, but I won't miss the work.  I have seen many of them grow into the positions they hold now and that includes the young man who, started as a phone banker and now holds the position of my boss!
