47? What the hell?

I know I've talked about this before, because I thought he celebrated before, but the manager of our print1ng depar7ment just hit 47 years of service today. 47!

Crazy bastard. He won't retire till his wife does, and she's not ready yet. He looked around the room and said "hell, half of you weren't even born when I started!" And half of those weren't even in kindergarten when he was eligible for retirement.

We all looked at each other with a "goddamn, how did he make it this long?" look.

Only 42 years left for me to go.

I have absolutely no intention of working 47 years if I can help it. I once read about a man who was still working at a local grocery store at age 100. He said the trick to not retiring is "to not have any hobbies."
