one of my co-irkers is retiring; her last day is tomorrow. I am a bit melancholy, for I know I am a better person for having known her. I shall wish her well in the next stage of her life, but I shall miss her.
#unsolicitedadvice Keep in touch with her! But don't talk shop if you can help it.

well, it isn't mine... I stole it, I believe, from www.plurk.com/BodhiPaper...
Retirements are bittersweet... I always alternate between sadness and jealousy.
