No I’m not retiring, that’d be stupid since I haven’t held any job long enough to qualify. Instead it’s my father who’s finally retiring, though I use that term loosely. Why?

Simply because he’s going to be “retired” for all of a day, and then the next day he starts work at a new job. And if he had his way and wasn’t terrible with dates he wouldn’t be retired for any amount of time and instead would simply wake up the next morning and report to a different place of work.

Last night we held his retirment party at Artie’s, it was interesting to see a lot of the people he works and used to work with there. Everyone couldn’t believe that he wasn’t really retiring at all, but when my mother and I would tell them “He’d be too bored without work.” Most everyone agreed, my dad might be annoying sometimes, but he sure as hell is a good dad, and an interesting character to boot.

Also t-minus a day and a half until I leave. 😯
