I started in '81 or '82 and there are people working where I work who weren't even born when I started.

Half the people I work with are due to retire in the next 5 years. There was one guy with 50 years of service.

When life gives you lemons, make a John Lemon drink.

Just don't tell Yoko or she'll sue.

Most of them are nice enough, just with the age gap work is more isolating since well a almost 40 year old has 0 in common with a 20 something.

On work days I spend more time at work then at home.

Wife is sleeping when I get home so I see her maybe for an hour in the morning before I leave.
