I'm jealous. Wish I could retire. Thankfully, I only live 15.4 miles from work. Most likely, this will be my last job. When they "let me go", I will likely be unemployable due to age and health. My boss says that I might be able to get contract work, as needed, as a sysprog. I did that for about a year when I was only about 40. I did not like it at all. Many problems with actually getting the company to give me any money. I had to walk of the job in the middle of a project, owned over a month's wages, before they paid me.
