I had saved every check I ever wrote. Two moves ago I decided enough was enough and I burned everything more than 2 years old except for tax forms.
Sure as heck, just last week I was wishing I had some of those cancelled checks when I found out the pathology lab my doctor uses has been double billing everyone for years.
...all day to get around to it, 3 min. to change it
...true
...not old enough for the discount
...nope, boots
...true
...VERY TRUE!
...true
...true
...nope, have too much I want to do, but now, at my own pace
...true
...nope, don't miss many people
And have you noticed how "senior" has gone from 55 to 60?
At lunch one day where my dad worked, one of the retired guys had come back to visit. He was by this time in his late 70's. One of the younger guys asked how old you have to be before it doesn't work any more. The old guy said, "Well, I dunno, ya gotta ask someone a lot older than me."
That is what we are working for Bloviator!
Answer: Tied shoes.
I don't think so, that is what Velcro is for.
I don't miss the work, or the people, but I sure miss that broadband.
Everyday is Saturday.
The down side of retirement is you never get a holiday day off.
