[QUOTE="The Milkman, post: 1485530, member: 22760"] So True Brown....I turned 55 in 07, 4 months to the day after that I had my 25 years in. I figured I will hang around 1 more year till 56 in 08 just to annoy Ups and yes you are right, go ahead try and fire me. Waited a long time to be in just that position at Ups where I could be at peace knowing I see the exit door wide open for me....few months later my Brother aged 53 died... My wife' cousins husband dropped dead this past Thanksgiving day at age 55..... So you never know, about a year ago another Ups friend of mine died about 1 month before his retirement just after leaving his night shift working as a clerk.. So sad that his plan went out the window. So I said that's it..I'm done...I'm out of here. Made me realize that life is to short to hang around planning the next year not knowing if I would even make it to the next day, I would think after 37 years that one would just cut the umbilical cord and leave. Who cares about the # next to your years of service on the retirement page, main thing is that you got to retire for the most part in one piece..hung it up 1/1/08...7 years already...looking fwd to 7 more........
