Retirement Letter

This is a copy of the retirement Letter I sent to the staff at work:

As Mary Ann and I get ready to start our retirement journey, I wanted to take this opportunity to say my goodbyes. I have really enjoyed my time with Southwest and especially the almost 11 years at PRC. It is funny but when I applied at Southwest 12 years ago I wanted to work OPS and only put Reservations down as a second choice because I thought it might be easier to get into Reservations. They called me almost immediately and offered me a job in Res which I of course accepted. It was really different for me to go from a job where women were not allowed because it was considered a combat job to a job that was 90% women. Boy was I in for a cultural shock. Over the last 11 ½ years I have learned, discussed and heard things I thought I would never do. Ladies, it has been an eye opening experience. Anway, Mary Ann and I will miss you guys but with our daughter here in Phoenix, you can bet we will be making return visits. Best of luck to all of you. For the ones who are staying, I hope the future is bright and all goes well. I would like to close by listing some favorite moments from my tenure at PRC. I will leave it up to you to decide who each saying refers to.
1. Where are the sidewalks that roll up at night??
2. You have to do disgusting things to get diamonds
3. Of course I got lost. You drew me a map to get there but not to get back. Say What!
4. The smoke alarm went off. Your dinner is ready
5. Your dog bit a lawyer?
6. The ladies bathroom has had problems with drainage. Finally after about a year, a Plumber is called and they found a badge was the culprit. Did she get her money back for the lost badge??
7. What Sup paged herself??
8. I'll bet you hate the Dentist as you really like to talk to people. Oh, I take a pen and paper so I can write notes
9. Oh, I don't pay any attention to those closed freeway entrance signs. There is nobody working that early in the morning so I just go around them.
10. I can't drink this coffee. Its old. I'm a princess.
I know that I have picked on and harassed you guys over the last 11 years. It was always in good fun and hope you took it as such. Remember, you really pick on people you like. For anyone who wants to keep in touch I have some business cards in my cubby. Our email addresses and cell phone remain the same. Our new address is: 518 Willow Green Ct., Chesapeake, Va 23320. Lots of luck finding us there. Also, we started a blog on our travels. The address is http://www.chastainstravels.blogspot.com/ . You can log on and watch our adventure unfold. Good Bye and Good Luck.
