Class of 1975
Monday July 26, 2021.
I walked into my job an hour and a half late, after a 2 week vacation, waited for our morning meeting to start. Everyone was grumpy, well it was Monday.
Held my hand up to talk.
I'm 64.
Its time.
I'm retired.
Later Bitches
I dropped the mic ????
Today is the first day of the rest of my life ?????????????
