[Jack the story @Xinbato_oz]

Three months before I retired, my manager asked whether I could leave sooner.

I’d worked there for twenty-nine years.

I started when the warehouse had no heating. By the time I left, machines did most of the lifting, and I trained the people who kept them running.

Over the years, I’d missed birthdays, changed vacations, and answered calls halfway through Sunday dinner.

The morning my wife went into labor, I worked half a shift before going to the hospital.

I used to tell that story proudly.

When I gave notice, I expected the last few months to feel strange.

They did.

I was still called over whenever something stopped working, but I no longer received invitations to the meetings about it.

My replacement asked questions. I answered them, then wrote the answers down so he wouldn’t have to remember everything at once.

One afternoon, I heard my manager telling him that my retirement would finally take a big expense off the department’s budget.

I stayed late that evening finishing the troubleshooting notes.

The young man hadn’t done anything wrong. I didn’t want him stuck on his own.

Last Friday was my final day.

HR sent a checklist: access card, locker key, company jacket.

By the time I’d returned everything, my manager had already left.

There was no gathering. A few people said, “Enjoy yourself,” as I passed.

In the break room, I took my old mug from the cupboard.

A new employee looked up.

“You’re not supposed to take things from here.”

@MarkFusetti Boscovs seems to be still open 🧐

[Jimmy J @JS3NJ]

@SpoonyLupin Both those people seemed well off. Why can’t they just leave each other. I never understand it.

@sherryphall @ABC2020 They should put this on in the Summer when all the repeats are on.

[Jimmy J @JS3NJ]

@sherryphall @ABC2020 Yep. With all the crime stories I’m not sure why they all cover the same ones.

[Jimmy J @JS3NJ]

@TheHomeFarm She will.

falling leaves
nothing in nature
mistakes surrender for defeat

@SpoonyLupin Do you think they’ll just keep picking off the women and it’ll just be men left? Don’t think that’s ever happened before.

[Jimmy J @JS3NJ]

@lil_buts He answered the question. I guess it wasn’t the answer you wanted.

@48HoursCBSProd The old chewing gum ruse, works every time. 😁

[Jimmy J @JS3NJ]

@SpoonyLupin Is it a texture thing?

[Jimmy J @JS3NJ]

@SpoonyLupin Serious?

[Jimmy J @JS3NJ]

@EFMoriarty @48hours Not sure why his kids haven’t visited him in jail.

[Jimmy J @JS3NJ]

@EFMoriarty @48hours

Todd was not allowed visitors in jail?

[Jimmy J @JS3NJ]

@ssigafoos I’ll take one of each.
