Retiring??

We had a brunch at my school today for those that are retiring. I wrote a few words to share during the brunch. Rick's been at my school about 3 years, and he's only one of three men on staff where there are about 22 women. His room was right next to mine. We're out-manned and under-gunned.

Hard thing about retiring is the stuff you told your you thought was stupid...., STILL seems stupid !!

Yep, 22/3 will drive any man to retire. Women are great, and tend to be more civilized, but that's like drowning in chocolate syrup!

Chocolate syrup? Geez, this does NOT sound like the women I work with! More like, piss & vinegar at my school. Not anything you'd want to drown in, for sure.

Now the GUYS I work with... They are like big vats of fluffy marshmallow cream. You will drown, but before you go, you'll be completely immobilized in the morass of inertia...

Ahhh, work! The worst and the best in human nature thrown into a crucible and stirred periodically.
