In reply to the discussion: I am a Fed that is going to retire and so will 1000's like me [View all]

I'm also a Fed eligible for immediate retirement. Piss me off enough and I'll give you 45 minutes notice. That's really about all it would take to sign my already-prepared retirement papers and submit them, adjust my timesheet, and turn in my laptop, Gov't travel card and phone. It's a silver bullet and I can obviously only use it once, but I'm prepared if the need arises.
Thank you for having served and for all you (and your fellow Feds) do!
