It looks like Whoopie Goldberg congratulated you.lisab said:Congratulations on your retirement!

It's a nod to the Oregon Country Fair, where I had the pleasure of meeting Om in person!

Drakkith said:Hmm... do you have any from the Pliocene instead?
OmCheeto said:Given that I have a side-by-side, and haven't been able to bend over comfortably in the last 2.6 billion years, there may be some of that, on the bottom shelf.

I did absolutely nothing yesterday.
ps. Happy birthday bro!
Drakkith said:Ah, right next to the ginger ale. Got it.
Thanks! Just turned 30!
Zero. As an indicator of why not, half of the people who I worked with, including my boss, had threatened to quit the day I retired. Though only one of the eight put in their two week notice that day.lisab said:Nine weeks and no sign of missing work .
Well, it's not all ice cream and beer...Sounds like you're having a fantastic retirement - I'm so jealous, and so happy for you!

My back is recovering slowly. But it always did. I've suffered from on and off bouts of work related sciatica for the last 15 years. But being that I seldom mentioned it, and my boss seemed to be a bit jealous, he worked me like a dog up until my second to last day.
This year, my sciatica manifested itself in a new and hideous way. Every morning, around 1 am, I would be jarred awake with the most horrific charley horse in my left leg. So for the last 8 months, I've had about 2-3 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
It's much better lately. But the chronic dull signal from my back reminds me; "Don't go back there. They really don't give a ****."
So I don't.
Take care of your backs people. You only get one.
ps. Yes... I went to the doctor last year for it. X-rays, MRI, etc. etc. They told me there was nothing wrong. They said I was suffering from a common ailment, called "old".
pps. I'm estimating another 30 days, and my sciatica will be gone, for good. :!)
