Tomorow, I sign the papers for my retirement. My former employer (seems strange to call them that) called me last Thurs and said the paperwork for my pension had finally arrived. I worked (no snickering) for this company for 29 years and 9 months and can't believe I'll be retired. "Put out to pasture" "left on an ice flow" are a few of the sayings that come to mind. The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off!
Tomorrow is also the day I start a new job. I'll be shuttling cars and trucks all over Ontario for a rental agency. I wanted to stay in the Mining game but that's "deader than disco" right now. I knew that Class D license I got in 1977 would come in handy. I may even start up a small business, (I hear that G.M. is for sale)
I feel guilty that my wonderful wife is still working (but that will pass) someone has to! While I'm on the subject of my wife, I have to tell you what happened last Sat.
As I was pulling on to our street after returning from the movies, I noticed a baby duck by the side of the road...........so I shouted "Duck".......well, my wife was raised in Montreal and she vividly remembers the FLQ crisis............remember, they use to blow up mail boxes, and the occasional "Meudse Anglaise", pardon my French. Apparently it wasn't easy growing up English in Montreal during that period...................I won't be shouting "Duck" anytime soon.
