The "Lasts" - A Sign of the Future

Today was the last day I will be first unemployed, without a job, no prospects, no resume', no interview, no appointments, no presentations to make, no catalogs to distribute, no calls to return, no stamps to lick, no complaints to sort through, no more work.

I know, how can all of these items be relative to me?
The helm of the Curves is today up to the new owner.

What is the relevance of the title of this post?

Well, the last payroll has been calculated. The last restlessness at 6 am has occurred. The last commercial utility account has been closed, the credit card processor has drawn it's last, the last commercial transaction line at the bank has been waited in.

I've received the last alarm company call about an alarm and the last bill from the Albuquerque City for alarm response has been paid. The last lead bag placed.
No more BR's, no more webinars, no more projection sheets, no more mis-management by a pathetic owners association, and no more franchiser. No more fighting with job flakes about undeserved unemployment. You get the idea? No more paying city, county, state, fed, employment, unemployment, social security, sales taxes, and inventory taxes. No more surcharges for commercial uses of government facilities, like water, power, trash police and fire department.

Will I miss it? No.

So what will take up my time?
Painting on canvas, board, paper, glass, vinyl, stainless steel mesh and clay.
Drawing and sketching.

Volunteer at some community event or activity once per year or so.

Quick short trips around the country to see long ago friends, relatives and sights and places. Healthier life decisions: Cellared wine, craft beer, aged scotch, whiskey and bourbon. Fine food prepared at home for friends and guests, etc, etc.

Ceramics. Home gardening, house trim in and out painted, trim repaired, Christmas,
blogging, Grand kids, family, friends.

You get the idea.

Please do not call too early tomorrow.
Cab is on blocks for the night. No ride, no fare.
