Saturday November 29, 2014

It is on the calendar at work. That will be the last day I work. When I get around to waking up the next morning, I will be retired.

2. Good for you, my dear Omaha Steve!

I just cannot say enough great things about being retired. It's so good to finally be busy with the life you want to have.
 
Enjoy!

A lifetime of union goldbricking pays off at last.

At the ripe old age of.....58 years, and the bulk of.....450+ pounds.

Perhaps Steve the socialist can turn to running for office full time now.

Let's see . . . what would be an appropriate retirement gift? :whistling:

I've got an idea or two, but I'd love to hear other suggestions. :naughty:

You know, that's very odd; when I was posting this, I was thinking along the same lines.

I think an appropriate retirement gift would be a heavy-duty industrial-strength gym membership for the big guy, because since he won't be working any more, he won't be working off his meals and between-meals snacks.

If I were to heading towards Bellevue, NE for Thanksgiving, I would anonymously give Steve the Stout a lit bag of dogshit on his front stoop.

I noticed that he was able to squeeze in one last paid holiday, Thursday, 28 NOV, before retiring to his deathbed.

End of November?!? Retirement?!?

He announced a terminal disease months ago!

He had months to live!

Now it's a happy retirement?

Need a link to his sad announcement. I think he wanted to go out like Lou Gehrig at Yankee Stadium.

I have no doubt that Steve's retirement date was written on the calendar at work by his poor, suffering co-workers.

The real party will be the day after he retires. :whistling:

I thought the same thing, GB. Can't remember how long it was until he was gonna die but it wasn't very long. Seems like it was 3 months? Maybe it was 6 months?  I thought he wasn't gonna last to the end of the year.

Edited to add: I found the link. It wasn't 3 or 6 months. Said he was diagnosed last December and had to retire by the end of the year.

Maybe he will kick the bucket 1 day before he gets his first check and save taxpayers a boatload of money.
