Andy Rooney, who recently retired from 60 Minutes, passed away today at the age of 92. He will be missed.
Why do so many people think 30 years of retirement is some kind of entitlement?
I saw that just a few minutes ago. I liked him, thought he was funny in his curmudgeon-ish style. He provided many, hmmmm moments.
He didn't get to enjoy much of his retirement, a month or less. But then some people live for their work instead of working for their lives.
RIP Mr Rooney.
May you be in heaven a full half hour
before the devil knows your dead.
OK, maybe I should have said his FULL retirement. Working part time is still working. Although I do agree that he may have well thought of it as more of a hobby than a job.I'd say he enjoyed his retirement immensely.
He has been retired for at least 20 years and he did 60 Minutes on the side.

I loved Andy. RIP
I wasn't saying you were wrong 555. I was pointing out that he enjoyed what he was doing at 60 minutes and his doing that probably had a lot to do with him living into his 90s.
I have heard from many people who enjoy doing what they do to make money and they say it is not work to them.
I would think that there is probably no one at UPS who "enjoys what they are doing" - we all do it to make money.
That is why I asked the question earlier about what "Retirement" really means. When I retire from UPS, I have absolutely no intent of not working (I plan on Photography as a second career) and will start working the next day.
