I am celebrating toxic people! I worked for the same company for 20 years but was at a different location for the last 4. In those 4 years I never heard a word that was not a complaint from the person who had the locker beside mine. I quickly learned never to initiate a conversation but it still got to the point I asked myself why am I here putting up with this? I went to my boss and said "remember how I said I was retiring at the end of the year? Well start the paper work I am going in July!" I don't know how many good years I will have, but that toxic person inspired me to add 5 more good months to the begining and I am grateful for them. I have been learning things that I think will help in my volunteer, work and with the Canadian truckers protesting maybe the lock down will end sometime and I will be able to do work that feeds my soul.

Well done!
Happy freedom!!
