GOOD NEWS ?

Jan has been working at Advanced Office Systems for 30 years as of March 30th. For 30 years she has never been late and almost never missed a day of work. She has been a most loyal and dependable employee even though the company has been notably stingy in its salaries.

She has been thinking of retiring for over a year and yesterday advised that she is leaving on March the 30th. Good for her. She deserves some free time at last.

On the ither hand, my indolent life is coming to an end. Under her stern guidance I will no longer be allowed to spend countless hours watching TV or playing with my computer. She will find tasks for me on a daily basis. Her life of leisure begins. Mine ends.

I suspect you are over-rating the demise of your life of leisure.
Glad mom gets a break!

That is SUCH great news!!! I think we should do something to celebrate. A dinner, at least. I'd happily drive into Houston for that!

Congratulations, mom! I hope they can survive without you and that they give you a huge bonus for the years they have underpaid you for your services!

Don't worry, dad! Change is good for one! Ask Bob - it's not that bad - it's worse!
