Gainfuly Unemployed

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

I am now officially out of a job. Done.
After setting up a few things with my replacement I said my good byes in the office yesterday, got  handshakes and hugs and left. It was a funny feeling. I’ll have to get used to that. Now today I already had one phone call from the parole reentry task force asking for information but I don’t mind giving guidance.

Got a few things to do this week; dentist and taxman stuff. Think I’ll start on the workshop. I’ll post a few pictures of it as it now stands (a complete and utter shambles) and do some updates as it progresses.

The wife and I have a trip to Fayetteville, NC, planned for April. We’ll spend a few weeks with our daughter and enjoy the warmer weather down there. I’ll also look for some furniture to refinish.

I’m still a little antsy about my decision to leave but I know I did the right thing. New York State is getting absolutely ridiculous with its law enforcement programs and I am tired of dealing with them. The nit picking is tiresome and there is a pervasive theme of social justice and minority favoritism that has spread throughout the entire system under Cuomo. Add to this admixture the people in the State I trusted, who I have dealt with for years, are also retiring; stir, bake and the result is time to leave.

Perhaps this is contrary to popular opinion, but there are some great people who are bureaucrats. And of course there are slugs also. Most of my experiences have been with the good ones and I am most fortunate for that.
