It's Official

I'm a senior citizen.

I've been planning for a year to retire the end of next month.  My last day of work will be February 25.  In addition to taking all the necessary steps to arrange for my official retirement from the company (so I can get my pension) -- and also planning the party -- last week I put in my application with the Social Security Administration.  A representative (one Ms. Uchinski) called me yesterday from the Chicago office to ask a couple questions, let me know what options I might like, and get me all signed up.  My first check (for January) will be direct deposited in my checking account on the second Wednesday in February.

So -- it's official.  I am a senior citizen on Social Security.
