All you retired folks speak up!!

[Son of Pappy]

Retired US Army, May, 2002.  Currently train motorcycle riders when my retired schedule permits   Gotta earn $$ for motorcycle trips and farkles

Conrad, you don't qualify (yet)

[Conrad]

I don't qualify yet?   

Ok, I'll come back tomorrow.   

[tweeter55]

And the next day...and the next...and the next. I'm telling you, SOP, he's gonna wear you down.

[Conrad]

But, but, after tomorrow I WILL be a retired guy!

Officially?  Or will you "JUST" be on vacation? 

[Rhino]

I've been on involuntary vacation since Nov 20. I hope this isn't retirement but it could turn out that way.

[Conrad]

Officially?  Or will you "JUST" be on vacation? 

You got me there. My last official day of work is 12/31 with my first official day of retirement being 1/1/14. Happy New Year to me!

We close down for the holiday break (with pay) 12/20 to 1/1 back to work on 1/2 (not me though!).

[Son of Pappy]

So, at the stroke of midnight I will host one for you, gonna be a Crown and Coke, I hope that's OK with you?

Thank you for your service

[Son of Pappy]

Thank you for your service

Thanks!!   And thank you for yours as well

Not sure I'd qualify.  Retired USAF, but not old or well off enough to retire completely.  Though with all this crap going on in washington, it might be a lot ooner than I'd like.

[Cholla]

Not retired, just tired.
Practising for it by living on a fixed income!

[Conrad]

That's more than just ok with me!   

The boss told me yesterday that he was planning on sending us all home at lunch time today but if the weather turns out as crappy as the weatherman said it might, don't even bother coming in at all. The roads are covered in ice this morning and that sounds pretty crappy to me.

Sounds crappy to me as well   I think you should call in sick, and this time don't use your fake sick voice   Congrats Conrad, may your days that come be filled with wind in your face and many family filled memories

Call in? 

Heck, I just send an e-mail man! I told him what the roads are like and that's that.

Thanks Chet, I really do appreciate that. 

[Gumby]

Congrat's Conrad. Enjoy the freedom.
