I started work full time in 1968 and worked for the same company up until my retirement in 2004 mostly in Sales and Marketing but including a time in what we called Quality Management. I stayed retired for about 6 months then started again with a larger food retailer as a purchaser and "retired" again after three years and immediately went to work for a very small mobile phone accessory wholesaler again for anther three years. Mostly retired now but am a part time school bus driver whenever the company I work for requires a driver to spare for another.
