Retirement

Have you ever been in a job that sucks
You feel so lost as if your life is stuck
Being afraid to venture out into the new
With the young and dynamic waiting in queue
You have reached the end of your career graph
Shunted and pushed aside you and all the old staff
But you stay on waiting for your retirement benefits
Silently playing computer games with all the other misfits

Hi Venetia, this made me smile. I surely do understand that feeling. I hope that retirement comes around the corner soon. Have a wonderful new week ahead.

Hello Zyrool, A very good morning to you! Fortunately I have still not reached quite that stage. I am still quite a bit useful in my organization. But I am prepared for the worst. :) ... Have a good day!!
