My Sister Retired
Posted By ê¿ê on March 31st, 2008
Monday was my sister’s last day on the job. She spent 44 years of her life on that job.
FORTY-FOUR YEARS
That to me is mind boggling.
And the truly sad thing is, she hated nearly every minute of it. I can’t remember a single conversation with her where she said she liked something about her job, her co-workers, her bosses — never. 44 years spent hating one of the most significant parts of your life.
Well, I certainly hope that now she’s retired, she will take some time to discover something she CAN like. I’ve suggested a couple of things to her. She doesn’t drive (that’s another mind boggler - how do you reach the age of 62 and have never learned how to drive??) or own a car, so any traveling she does would have to be by some form of public transportation. She likes NASCAR, country music, the beach and shopping, so she could take a tour to Branson, MO, get one of those Branson rentals to stay in and shop, visit the Silver Dollar City or Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede and then head to Florida and the beach before it gets too hot. Maybe my other sister would go with her.
Whatever she decides to do, she needs to get a life, don’t you think?? 44 years, hating your job and never learned how to drive a car. She’s got to be the weirdest person on earth — no I take that back — those guys who have dolls for friends are weirder (and sadder).
44 years…….
