And I'm not looking forward to it, he's been a great boss. Smart, insightful, humble, and realistic, he's always understood that this job is an important thing, but not the only thing in any of our lives. He's always kept expectations reasonable, and let us pursue tangents that interested us. But I'm happy for him and his wife as they move to their waterfront dream home in Florida.
I've already been told I'll be asked to do 1/2 his job, plus 3/4 of mine, for the next 4-5 months. The good news is, I'll get a temporary promotion, which will boost my pension forever. The bad news is, I know how much crap he's always shielded me from, and now I'll be the one trying to intercept the crap for the rest of our group. Sigh. I'm trying to view it as a chance to learn.

Good luck Jaye - YOU can do it! what a bonus that it boosts your pension!
Hang in there and focus on the bright side! Short term pain...long term gain!
Thanx WW and RA! I know I can, and will. If I'd had any hopes of winding down and coasting into retirement, though, forget it! I'll be busy, my last 6 months.
