June 1987
My name is Jim, and I work as a consultant for a large consulting firm in the United States. I work out of an office in Miami, and I have had a very good career with this company. Fortunately for me, I am able to retire at 40 and enjoy the quiet life. I have been fortunate with investments, and I had a good lottery win, and although it wasn't lucky my parents passed away and left me a sizable inheritance. These combined have given me enough of a portfolio to let me retire at a very early age.
I was sitting in my office working on reports on the last day of work trying to tie up some loose ends. It was about three thirty and I had three reports to finish before I left for good. The three reports were going to make some people very happy because with some small suggestions, the bar and the two restaurants that I had been working with could really turn their businesses to real huge affairs.
Just as I was finishing one report, Betty, (a.k.a. blowjob Betty), stuck her head in the door and asked if I wanted to go for a couple of drinks after work. I turned her down knowing that the night would have ended up with me getting my brains fucked out. Hence the nickname.
I kept working and soon had the three reports finished. I put them in their folders and went to the office of my boss. Laurie waved me in as she finished a phone call. I handed her the reports and said that this should make the clients very happy.
She read them over and she agreed. We talked for a bit and I could tell that she knew something was up. She finally asked me, " What is bothering you, you seem on edge?"
I said, " I have to tell you something else, and I am having trouble because we have become good friends and I have a huge amount of respect for you even if you are 14 years my junior."
She said, "Just tell me."
I started, " This is my last day, I have turned in my papers and I have retired as of tonight. I have arranged it all with human recourse, and they have already found a replacement for me. He is coming from the Seattle office."
Laurie looked at me kind of stunned. She said, "How come you didn't say anything sooner. I would have liked to have had a chance to arrange something of a going away party."
I told her, "That is why I didn't say anything, I didn't want a party and I just wanted to go out quietly."
She said, "Well at least let me take you to dinner and we can have a nice good bye."
I agreed, and she got on the phone and made reservations at a restaurant that I had heard of but had never been too.
