| then back to school. Retired from the Air Force in 97 then started driving school bus in 00. No more pulling over for a smoke, now I'll just vape until I pick up my first student. Then start again after dropping them off. Wonder if the mechanic would install a power port so I can use my passthrough. |

| Wow, you must be incredibly old.
Just kidding, I turn 47 tomorrow. That's officially "pushing 50", so I'm right behind you. I plan to fake a "mid-life crisis" pretty soon, so I can get away with some crazy stuff, like spending lots of money. |

| Careful there young one. I retired at 42 got so bored after 3 yrs had to go back to work. Spend it you earned it, just be careful don't want to work until your 85. If I make it through this entire school year it will be my last, I'll be 56 and that's enough. |

| Heh. My "retirement plan" is when I grab my chest, say "Argh!", and keel over. I always thought I would have time for that "some day". I was doing the math a few weeks ago. Ugh. |

| I never felt guilty not working just got real bored. I do love having the summers off, something to look forward to. But this is it my last year, unless the boss pisses me off then I'll just walk. |

| Congratulations. It's a great feeling when you walk out that door for the last time, and those checks just keep coming. Good luck and enjoy. Before long you'll have to look at your calendar just to see what day of the week it is. |
