And #WowOnWednesday Link-Up
It's the reason my post is late. Yesterday I didn't get round to writing the post I had been planning. I had been expecting that my application for voluntary redundancy would be accepted. I'd been optimistic that the exciting plans I've been making for retirement would start falling into place.
Instead I learnt too many people had applied, and so my request was turned down.
I've been working for 43 years, 25 years in semi-conductors, and frankly I'm done. You suddenly know when it's the right time.
Today I am positive again. It's good that I have the day off as it gives me thinking time. My Myers-Briggs profile, INTJ, "The Architect" , the rarest profile for women, is a persona of an analytical thinker and strategist.
Today's outfit sees me pairing two of the most scary colours for those analysed as winter, acid yellow and black. I love both. Ignore those who say women over 50 shouldn't wear black. See how the yellow becomes less acidic, while softening the column of black? And black is always a good colour for the corporate battle.
Details: acid yellow short tie wrap and suede belt, Kettlewell Colours; culottes, old, Hope; top, Damsel in a Dress; sandals, so old I can't remember!

So sorry your VolRed didn’t work out. I thought you’d just switched jobs a few years ago, so maybe you were down the list. Sounds like it’s something that many want. Plod on eh. Know what you mean though, at 57 I semi retired and at 61 I gave up proper. It was my time.
ReplyDeleteLove that working of your colours, the citrus with the saturate colour black.
Onwards and upwards, dear friend, Mary xxx
