I love being this close to retirement ( 1 year, 9 months, 4 days ) it affords me the opportunity to be a real PITA-
Boss - When will that project be ready?
Me - It's in the mill - a month or two max.
Boss - But I need it this month!
Me: - Wow - I really wish I could help, but at least I'm not retiring RIGHT NOW!
Boss - Well get done ASAP!
Me - Ok, By the way I'm off in Sept. for week of recreation.
Boss - WHAT! But I need that project.
Me - Thats really irrevanent since you have scheduled 9 months of work to be done in 6 months, and I have 4 weeks of vacation to use up before the end of the year, plus comp.time for all the overtime hours I have worked, sooooo the projects will all be late, regardless. But I promise not to retire before they are done.
Boss - I give up! - (mutters under his breath something about dinosaurs while banging his head against the wall).
Just call me Wally - (Dilbert side kick).
