was completed yesterday. Now I just have to take a form to HR to sign off on the information about the number of sick leave days I have accrued. I learned I have enough days that it gives me an additional year of credit. This is good because since I am taking early retirement, my defined benefit amount will be reduced by 33% of what it would have been in three years. Still, it is WORTH IT considering the amount of stress I am leaving behind. I have seen too many people work longer just to hold out for a higher pension, only to die within a year of retiring. Last year, two of my coworkers died before even being able to retire. By saving and planning in the early years of my career, I now have more choices.

Sometimes life is not about work but giving your back your sanity again. You'll have plenty of time now. Great job!
