Thanks, man! I'm great! But busy as hell getting for retirement! My company hired my replacement last week and now I have three weeks to train her. Not enough time to pass on 25 years of accumulated garbage.   8)

Enjoy your retirement, Bo D. I feel sorry for the person they hired to replace you. I have learned, from posting with you for a long time, that you are one unique dude!  :wink:  :yes:

Hot Damn!  :hamster: :papple: :split: :chacha: :slide: :duo: :hang: :sofa: :chick: :piano: :food12:

Glad to know another one is getting out of this rat race with their wits still about them and the ability to enjoy life sans the ball and chain!

Enjoy my friend! I am envious, but in a great way! Hope to one day join you in retirement; and that quite soon!

But my wits are barely hanging by a thread. Not many people survive 25 years in IT. There's a reason for that.

Wait...what?   :biggrin:
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Take a look around. How many old farts like me do you see still working in IT? Besides the Cobol programmers?

I don't see any COBOL programmers anymore either.  I'm sure there are still some around though.
