[QUOTE="scratch, post: 5183758, member: 1674"] I started working on 10/15/75 and my last day was 10/14/20, I stopped working to the day 45 years after I was hired as a 17-year-old. It was a Wednesday and actually a decent workday with nice weather. I had 154 stops and I clocked out at 18:08. Two weeks later they would load me up with extra stops and let me be the first to start a Driver's Helper, and the time would change where it got dark at 5:30, my center manager wasn't happy with me leaving before Peak Season. I had been saying goodbye to my customers and co-workers for several weeks, one of my customers ran me down and gave me a nice bottle of champagne. My supervisor said "See you tomorrow" and I told him "No you won't", my Center Manager didn't even bother to tell him. They gave me the cake and served Chick-fil-A biscuits two days later on Friday morning. My shop steward gave his speech, my Center Manager gave his speech with all of my statistics, and I gave mine. I walked out the side of the building by the outbound doors to avoid all the other drivers leaving the building. I have been back in that building once when six drivers retired. I have been to a couple of retiree lunches and a couple of funerals too since then.[ATTACH type="full"]373938[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]373940[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]373941[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
