Farewell Lunch

I was given a great send-off by 30 colleagues at lunch on Friday, except that I morph from a salaried academic to an adjunct position and continue as usual on Monday with more disposable income than I had on Friday.

My colleagues included professors of Geography, Sociology, Psychology and Archaeology who heaped praise on my career - so much so that I wondered if I were at my own funeral!

I received some useful presents, including a badly needed new watch (not gold), an outdoor weather station, and a large voucher for books.

To cap Friday off, I submitted a revised (post-referee) article to a leading journal. There are four more in the pipeline and I've just published an edited book!

Wow Dad - so you are finally 'retired'. Doesn't sound like you are actually going to slow down at all!
