You are in something I kind of dealt with....I call it the lame duck syndrome.
Once people know you are leaving they either ignore you, listen but don't really hear you, or treat you like you are Charlie Brown's teacher. Some of them resent you because you made it to the goal line and they are so far away. The really good people are happy for you, but it also reminds them how far they are from achieving what you have worked to accomplish.
But....and here is the good part for you, that last 71 days will go by faster than you think. The last day you will spend cleaning up things, having people come by and say their farewell's and some will be truly sad to see you go.
And saying this from recent experience....you will not believe the feeling freedom that you get from leaving work for the final time. I have had lunch with a couple of my former co-workers just to catch up and the first thing they said was that I seem so happy...and even look a bit younger.
Retirement looks good on me.....and I am loving it. Here's to hoping that you get the same joy that I have now.
And what I look forward to most is the upcoming 3-peat by the KC Chiefs!
