Light At The End of the Career

This is the last day of Deployment Period (DP) 9, 2007. Deployment periods are 28 days. I am retiring in the middle of DP 9, 2008. So, since there are thirteen DPs in a year, I'm officially into my last year now.

Many people know that we have been saying "two years" for about the last ten years. The thing is, we could always have retired anytime during the last ten years. It's just that different changes in my retirement options and certain incentives the City has implemented made delaying retirement more attractive from a financial sense.

The way things stand right now, I can't legally work in my current position after September 8, 2008. So, really, It's less than a year to go. huzzah!
