Been there! Golly, it was fun to deliver the "it'll cost ya this time" speech.
And it's great to be into a far better job now. Cool

Congratulations on retirement, Marlin Fan.




God bless America.

Congratulations, Marlin Fan and DEC505! I hope you enjoy retirement. I've retired twice--20 years USAF and 26 years Texas Instruments. I last worked 14 years ago this month.

Congratulations from someone with just a couple years to go. I never thought I wanted to but the past year or so I just don't have time to work anymore.
