Quoting MadDeez,

also, i didn't call anyone an imbecile. i asked if he was one.

lol. Are you an imbecile?

 

 

 

 

 

 

  I think that is now one of my favorite quotes

 

And being a senior IRL does still give you respect (sometimes) if you have money, power, or morals

people are more likely to respect an old, rich, lucid person than a young, rich, lucid person

And seeming to be a "good person" is generally a respect multiplier.

Here is the bright side. I worked for 50 years and today 7/30/10 was my last day as I am now retired. Now I have everyday ahead of me and am still working on what the hell I'm going to do with all this time.


Congratulations, Dave!

I don't hate my job, but some days I wish I could cut back to just part time.  Other days, like the past week I've had, I'm really glad I owe my time to my employer so that I don't have to think about the crap that's happened in my non-working life.

One thing I know I can do is keep my eye on Doc and Wiz as they really need someone to keep them straight.

Congrats my friend . Enjoy it man, enjoy it!!!

P.S. Don't mind the tall scary guy in the black robe with the sycle standing behind you, he won't be there long..lol J/K

I concur, as a proctologist I really hate my job.  Sometimes I just really feel like an ass.  I mean all my friends make me the butt of their jokes.  Sometimes when I have had a hard day at work, I just feel depressed because I feel that in my career I will be stuck in the bottom. 

Man, I'll bet your job really "stinks"

Normally I wouldn't stoop to a pun that low for a laugh, butt, in this case what the hell!!...lol.

Who retired?..... Poor old doc..... sigh.

 

I'm glad you're out of that rat race.

Start enjoying the life G-d gave you, friend.... see some beautiful places... have a drink and kick back.

Then, think about 'what if...' and by that i mean what if you could do anything/learn anything or be somewhere else... then implement it.

 

i'm so happy for you, bud. truly. The opportunities are unlimited....Have a blast!

WHAT?  I thought he was going to devote his entire retirement to learning Skin Studio, and become the equivalent of Grandma Moses of Windowblinds!

And just who told you 'he' hasn't? Luckily I just found this in the paper.

I may start this windowblinds thing Karen but it will have to wait a couple months as I have fixing up plans. I just uploaded another set of OD and that's about the limit of my skills.

I never realized I was a man with so many lives. It's a wonderful thing for sure. You should find the person on wrote that article and let them know I was born in 1861.

When Target doesn't call me back for a job interview, I know I'm screwed. I hate being unemployed, overqualified, way too honest on my applications. When I meet other morons with Jobs I have to wonder what the heck I'm doing wrong. One cannot survive on mowing lawns and doing sympathy work for friends for so long.

Luckily, it has given me plenty of time to write. So when they pry my rotten corpse from my computer room, they might read my novel I've been working on for months. And then I'll be a posthumous success just like my idol Van Gogh.
