I Announced My Retirement Today

Today, went to the Human Resources Department and filled out the necessary paperwork to retire as of January 1, 2018.  My last day of work will be Friday, December 22 which is the last day before the holiday break.  My career spanned about 41 years including 3 years as a chemist and 38 years of a librarian.  My early career was checkered, but I ended up with 25 years at NJIT.  I am 68 years old an want to enjoy whatever time the good Lord has given me.  Thankfully, I am in good health and will spend my time doing what I really enjoy.

Today is My 25th Anniversary at the NJIT Library

Where did all these years go?  Sometimes it seems like it has been forever since I started at the NJIT Library on September 14, 1992, and other times it seems like yesterday.  The university has certainly grown tremendously over a quarter of a century.  The student body is much larger than it was back then and there are much more buildings on campus now.  The Wellness and Event Center is nearing completion which will hopefully attract more students.  There has been so much technological change over 25 years.  Back then the internet was in its infancy with primitive e-mail and slow and text based browsers.

Time marches on.
