I figure I'll get to retire right after lunch on the day I die.
My dad never actually got to retire.

Mine either. He was medically disabled by a medication error after ulcer surgery. He lived with that until he couldn't work any more. Then he got lung cancer, had that taken care of and then died of a stroke at the age of 58. One of my uncles made it to 64 but the rest all died at 58 or younger. While I didn't smoke, I had no expectation of making it past 58 or having a retirement. I expected to be found slumped over my desk one day at work. I'm 66 now and retired at 62.

Our boss just got back from a 3 weeks 'holiday of a lifetime'. We have a pact in the office not to mention it for 24 hours. He's soooo frustrated :grin:

Oh, OK. My management was all about themselves. Quite annoying.
