Five days a week for forty years the alarm woke him at 7:20.
He left for the office at 8:05 and arrived at 8:57.
At 5:14, he left for home.
When he retired they gave him a gold watch.
On his way out he dropped it in the waste bin.

Great story! Gotta love the irony!
I’ve been retired almost as long as I worked, and, believe me, retired is better than working. Lisa’s story is my story, except act instead of a watch, they gave me a buy-out. I did not throw it in the trash bin.
Excelsior!
Yes that is ironic- always the watch- haha!
