35 years???
Did you start work when you were 10???
Congrats on a long career
Job security these days isn't what it used to be.
It's incredible how quickly the years pass. I put in 36 years and was able to retire at age 55.
I've now been retired 20 years and those have all been motorcycle riding years and seem to have passed even more quickly.

Wish I could retire at 55 but it looks like I may have to put in another 40 years or so to be able to afford it 
Kevin as it is in any big company at the end of the day you just a number no matter what you do for the company

Sad, but true. Oh well, you've had a steady job so there's something to be said for that.Wish I could retire at 55 but it looks like I may have to put in another 40 years or so to be able to afford it

I enjoyed my job, but as retirement came closer I was happy to see it end. But I didn't dwell on it and worked hard right up to the end to kill the time in that last year or so.
I bought my first motorcycle in 34 years in the spring of 1992 and retired at the end of that year. With my new interest I was anxious to have my time to myself so I could ride anytime starting in 1993.

And that is sad.
Yeah well I will be pushing for at least another 5 years if possible but who knows what may happen in 5 years lol
I hope it works out that way for you.
Oh well we will have to wait and see what the future brings I suppose
Congrats Dave, I'll have 34 in July and will become bulletproof the next July. Heck as I look back on it, the past 33 1/2 years went by like 99 3/4.
well done Dave
Enjoy the security, you dont realise what it is till youve never had it.
I've always contracted out, and you can be dropped on the spot,no notice given.

The job security has always been a big thing but it looks like that is also a thing of the past these days
Congrats Dave - that's one loooooooong career with a single company! Well done mate!
The funny thing is that it does not seem that long. I suppose that is also because for the most part I HAVE really enjoyed what I do
Welcome back Gromit. We have missed you.
Wow ! Thats some time at one place ! I been ay mine 12, 14 if you count the 2 years in '95/'96. But like you i can retire at about 108.
