Rainy Sunday

I'm retired now. At 59. Not that I wanted to but with the changes going on at work coupled with the current personnel, it was best I go. I did not and could not agree with the laziness and slackness that was taking place. This was under the nose of the head honcho. He not only agreed to it he helped it along. They were all good buddies, rode motorcycles, and visited each other after hours. The place of business has no policy about higher up consorting with subordinates but as a in the middle employee, it sure put me in some tricky situations. So, I felt to save my own skin it was better to get while the getting was good. Not that I don't have some animosity and bitterness as retiring early cost me a cool 10% of my retirement, but even then I did the right thing.
