Yes I know.  All those years in the Air Force thinking, "I'll retire and work only eight hours a day where the only stress will be deciding which little pigeon hole to stick the piece of mail in."  Boy Howdy!  What a worthless piece of crap of a place to work.  I've been in automation as a clerk for the last eight years.  Good pay?  Sure.  Good benefits? Sure.  Live to 65?  Probably not.  Management who couldn't manage their way out of a wet paper bag & who's only way to fix things is by forcing people to work their days off or overtime.  At least it's given me the means to pursue my hobby of collecting Amiga's.  Yes I can quit, and the first $30 an hour job that comes along, I'm out of here.  8)
