After a day to get used to the sudden move up in my retirement, the rest of this week was spent learning about the process. Wednesday morning was a lot of reading of attachments to the company email and an hour with Cassie, my boss, helping her to understand where everything was located.
I basically work through the end of the week at which point all access to the company information gets terminated. I then have the company email until mid-August to do job searches and the like (intended for those who got laid off and aren't able to retire) before termination (end of salary, benefits, etc.) happens.
One of my last projects (one that I'm quite proud of) was "GC Live". I started this with a proposal a few years ago and shepherded it through the pilot phase last year and we began the series this year. Of course the timing sucks a bit in that one of our webcasts/live streaming events was scheduled this week. In the initial discussion we decided that I would not be present in the studio, so I watched my friends do this from home as just an audience member, which was a unique perspective.
The rest of the week, I have to say, was pretty boring. I answered a handful of emails as they came, had a couple of calls, and an evening meet-up with a group of friends Thursday evening. Friday morning included a last call with Cassie, and Friday afternoon I shut down the laptop for the last time (except for some email checks over the next few months).
I updated my Facebook and LinkedIn profiles at the end of the day.
