60 Year Pin
Some fellow with my company just got awarded his 60 year service pin. Excuse me, but are you fucking kidding me??? He started in 1946. Back from the War, no doubt. This just blows my pea pan. And it isn't a desk job, either. He goes out on the road when he works, staying in cheap motels with bedbugs and flying cockroaches. The way I figure it, this guy either:
LOVES his job
HATES his wife
Is a widower
Of course, he probably gets 50 weeks of vacation a year, so how hard can it be? Still, at some point you have to call it a day, and plop a frigging line in the water.
No Shit!!! I'm all about that droping a line in the water. Just Damn!

Or maybe option d. He's divorced and finding out the definition of alimony: The screwing you get for the screwing you got.
Could just be this is what he thinks of as retirement.
