You aren't old until all the new hires literally could be your grandchildren or great grandchildren.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

That is a little early. If it gets to the point that they could be your grand child, then it is time to hang it up.

Looks like Nittany is faster on the trigger than me today. laugh

What sticks out in my mind from when I was working is how fast it seems you go from being the youngest on shift to being the oldest. The years slide by very quickly.

I sometimes think I'm too old to retire.


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

I worked with a young guy that was about half my age for a few years He got to calling me Old Man and than would say you are older than my Dad .So one day I said how about we have a foot race You pick the place and distance and we run I than said I can not lose He said back that was getting pretty arrogant in light of the fact I am much older than he was . I said yea but if I lose I am supposed to lose remember I am an old man But if I win what are you gonna say than . was not so inclined to take me up on my offer and told me he would have to think about it and get back to me on the race idea .I ask a few days later and he decide d to pass on the race . So if you get grief from someone challenge them to some thing they may not be too good at .That will at least get them thinking you just might be young enough to beat then as some things

I enjoy the young men and women I work with. Take this time in your life to listen to them. Lead by example. You would be surprised at the results you get. We where all young. Most of them don’t have what we had. Parents. A mom and a dad. That is the plain truth.
