While I appreciate the opportunity my employers have given me through the years, it has become increasingly apparent that I am no longer able to approach my daily work with the passion and energy I know it deserves. That I know my employers deserve.
Additionally, it has been difficult for me to find the time I feel I need in order to be the father I'd like to be for my kids; the husband I'd like to be for my wife. And I have a number of pursuits in which I have a long-standing interest; but for which I've never been able to dedicate much time.
And so, it is with mixed feelings that I announce my retirement. I will regret the fast pace, the comraderie involved with being a member of a team, and the exciting potential for growth - both for me as an employee, and for growth of the various businesses that have employed me - that I was able to be a part of, day in and day out. But I am definitely excited to turn the page and enter this next phase of my life.
Thank you.

Whoa... announcing retirement from Big Boy?
No, announcing retirement in general.
But - alas - it's just wishful thinking.
("Big Boy." That's awesome. From now on, that's who I'm telling people I work for.)
Very good.
Nice.
This is something you could trot out when you just need a break from people, sort of in the old fashioned meaning of retiring, from a time before people actually retired from their jobs.
"Sharon, I'm retiring."
Perhaps it could be part of that cycle, each year, in which I take my "Satirical."
