Reminds me of the German artisan who retired at age 65:
A big party was thrown in his honor. He'd been with the company since age 16 as a trainee/apprentice. Speeches were made, and he had his turn as well. So he just thanks them for the most wonderful time of his life, but can he start again the following day? With his skills in short supply he was back on the job the following day. Same thing happened at age 70, party, speeches, etc. Back on the job the next day. Repeated at 75. At 80, the company makes a HUGE hullabaloo about his long and loyal service, and throws a massive party. At the party the manager tells herr Hanz that he's now retired and that he does not have to come to work anymore. In his speech, herr Hanz pays tribute to all his long gone colleagues, of all the good years he's had with the company, etc, but if he new back in 1934 that it's only a temporary job, he should never have applied for it!

Great for you that you can look back on 38 years! It says something of folks that can stick it out no matter what. Seems to me the more you can hop jobs today, the better it looks on your CV, but I'm still old school: Stick it out and do your job with 100% effort.

Enjoy your retirement, and may it really be the GOLDEN time of your life!
