Not exactly the same, but I told my boss I’m out at 65…so in 5 years and 7 months . Will also give em a hard date when it gets closer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adsm08 3,370 #28 Posted 7 hours ago I keep telling my boss it won't be long until I can't do the work anymore. I think he finally took me seriously because the big over-head stuff that really causes me issues has been getting spread around a bit lately. Too bad it took me telling him that my issues were bad enough I'd been applying to other jobs to get listened to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 42,291 #29 Posted 7 hours ago I worked for the same company for 40 years, after a vacation dispute I retired in 2004, then worked another 6 years as a consultant. Looking forward to seeing you at the big show in June. Enjoy your retirement Jay and "Don't Let the Old Man in". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why finally the wife got a new kitchen and bathroom. I didn't want to do while I was working because of all the other normal things that had to be done. Working and doing those kinds of jobs take forever. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
