I hate my job... » Forum Post by StAtiC--9

Being a senior doesn't get you any respect.

therein lies the issue. years ago, we respected our elders. we knew if we didn't, we'd be backhanded. it needn't matter who the elder was. obviously, that doesn't apply to today's younger generation.

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

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. 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 on retirement! As I get older, Retirement seems financially farther and farther away. So enjoy all that excess time. Play games, visit friends and family, see the world. Do everything you wish you could have in your 20s-40s.

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.

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.

Thanks for the retirement wishes everyone.

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.

It wouldn't have done any good. I gave them 3 weeks notification and left today like a gentleman.

That's OK Doc. Considering your old age we all know and understand you.

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.

Tom you can really mess Grandma Moses up. They have been telling me for years I was the oldest one alive.

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.
