    Is everyone retired?

    At 9:43 there are 1149 users on line. I'm retired, but what about the rest of you? Are you at work and not doing you're job?.. On break?... What?

    A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. My desk is a work station.

    Retired in 1999 at the age of 55. I retired because I read the statistics on people in my profession that retired at 65, the majority lived only 18 months after retiring.

    I'm at work. I check in from time to time to let my brain go in another direction for a few minutes and clear out the cobwebs. We have a 7 1/2 hours work day and I am RARELY here less than 8 hours and I RARELY claim any comp time. Often it will take me more than an hour to formulate a response because of work related "interruptions." I was "interrupted" 4 times while typing this response up.

  13. At work at one of my jobs. Have one of those "nobody knows (or cares) I exist unless something breaks" jobs. I spend SMC time planning for the few hours I have at home..... ;-)

    I should have known that "Creekers", even at work, would still be doing their jobs. I feel bad for suggesting otherwise.
