wow, almost lunch time. think I'll fix a few burritos.

I'm just trying to get off my current conference call so that I can go pick up my steak, black bean, guac, lettuce, tomato, queso, and jalapeño sandwich.

for a moment I wanted to be you Tony.

I think we've ALL had those feelings before.

He didn't say be "with" you.

Actually Rick, the "ouch" was meant for this post.

Thanks to the Mayor for reminding me of this selection.

Always a solid stick. And if I wasn't clear, the connie is also a winner.

Ok, I have a question for the old farts on here... What did your companies do for you as far as retirement parties / gifts? How about your colleagues / friends?

I put in 30 years with NYSDOT, worked all over the state, knew thousands of guys, had a crew of 20+ of my own at 3 different locations for years. my retirement consisted of lunch with my Engineer, Assistant Engineer, a co-supervisor, and our purchasing agent. that was 2009, I have not been back since.

Who paid for the lunch?

While I am not an old fart I know some and here is an example.

The govt gave me a shitty $50 watch with their name on it for 20 years service.

My office had a nice luncheon for me and included  some of the TxDOT folks I worked with

My office “Team” gave me a $100 Bass Pro Shop gift card

And most of all my boss and the big boss finagled me an extra performance bonus for the year designated to buy myself a $3000 watch with.

Gave myself a fishing boat😀

Employees paid for lunch & team gift
Govt paid for shitty watch
Technically the govt paid for the good watch
