Have A Joyous Retirement

March 5th, 2010

retirement,supervisor

My supervisor of nearly two years is retiring from the workforce. Effective at close of business +1 minute tonight, he is not required to be on the premises at any given time. I hope to see him at future cookouts and holiday parties, and maybe on the road somewhere while we’re out camping in our RV, but the building will never be the same without him.

He worked for the company for seven years. During his time, he put in plenty of hard work and demonstrated his dedication to the company. While he served as my supervisor, he demonstrated leadership skills, taught us the meaning of team cohesiveness, and never stopped pushing us to reach our full potential. He was everything encouraging. I will miss his stories, his laughter, his dry humor, his old jokes and his funny jokes. He’s a good man. He will be missed deeply. In his honor, my teammates and I pitched in to throw him an awesome party.

Hit the jump for pictures from his party.

Khalista and Johnny in the Snow

By this time, Khalista was getting comfortable in the snow.

Snowballs are fun, even for dogs.

She kept trying to catch snowballs, so we gave her the next best thing, a tennis ball covered in snow!

My dog is almost a year old so snow is pretty new to her too. Here’s a video of her first time out in the snow!
