How to Celebrate the Quittening

[jimhines]

In 2.5 weeks, I will be leaving full-time employment with the State of Michigan, where I’ve worked for almost 15 years. I’m brainstorming how best to celebrate this transition to More Writing and Less Commuting. Here are the ideas I’ve come up with so far…

• Writing-related tattoo! (Probably something with Snoopy at his typewriter.)
• Stormtrooper armor. Or maybe Boba Fett. (Very pricy, and since I’m losing my regular paycheck, this one’s unlikely.)
• Custom lightsaber.
• Dye the beard a random and interesting color. Or colors.
• Fancy new high-quality zoom lens for the camera.

It goes without saying that sleeping 72 hours straight will be a vital part of the celebration.

What do you think? Any other suggestions?

Take your family and go out to dinner at a nice restaurant. Some place you wouldn't otherwise go, because this is a milestone and it deserves to be celebrated.}:)

I'm totally behind the Snoopy and typewriter tattoo. It's perfect to mark the start of a new chapter in your life. Was that cheesy? I didn't mean to be cheesy.
