Congratulations Scooter
I only lasted 5 years with the Inland Revenue (as it was then), so to crack up 40 is a real achievement!

Re: I've Been Certificated!!
Congrats on such a long career with the same employer! Enjoy your retirement (and the possible part-time job)!
By the way, I can't understand why people would possibly be bothered (angry that is) about your former job. After all, it's a job like many others.

Re: I've Been Certificated!!
Many congratulations Scooter. 40 years is an astonishing achievement. (To put it into perspective, it is several years longer than I have been alive!)
May you enjoy many happy years scootering in retirement. You have deserved it sir!

Re: I've Been Certificated!!
Well done and congratulations.
40 yrs is unheard of these days. I have issues keeping 19 yrs old for over 40 days now.

Re: I've Been Certificated!!
What type of part time work are you considering? Perhaps a watch tech...
