Finally retired!
I'm not going to go into all the details, but 2 years ago I lost my job with NJ Transit after working there for 30 years. A lawyer advised me to put in for retirement, so I did. After 16 months it was finally approved. So, at the age of 54 I am a free man!

It's about time you old fart! Now you need to take up some lame hobbies like fishing and golfing. Although I picture you as more of a needlepoint kind of guy. Congrats, and let us know when you buy that big beach house and we'll come and visit.

I'm only 51 so I have a few years to go. When I do retire I'll have 37+ years in the system. Congratulations, Bob!

Congrats, sir! I'll be there officially on July 1. Using my terminal leave now, so functionally retired as we speak.
