-=> Quoting Robin Arnhold to Jim Casto <=-
RA> And humming 'Take This Job and Shove It'?
Actually, the _job_ was o.k. It was the uncertainty of the whole situation
as there has been _massive_ "downsizing" in our business.
RA> When our section chief
RA> retired this time last year, he walked out the door humming 'So Long,
RA> It's Been Nice to Know You' (and he moved to Mexico even though he and
RA> Jeannette don't know two words of Spanish between them).
My Dad retired to Guadalajara and couldn't speak enough Spanish to
communicate with his cleaning service. However, he _did_ live in a
"non-Mexican neighborhood" and could speak, read and write Esperanto.
(Now there's a discussion for you... Advocation of Esperanto as the
_universal_ language. )
RA> Congratulations! I have this sneaking hunch you are going to enjoy a
RA> very active and busy retirement.
Thanks. And the wife and I intend it to be that way.
RA> I hope it's happy and rewarding.
So far it has been. Still trying to get all the bugs out of my "upgraded"
computer so I can get down to some "serious" retirement. (I have _got_
to get this room cleaned up and organized. )
