When HR hand delivers your retirement packet, unplanned and uninvited.....
Happened to me Friday.

When the Boy Scouts stop by as part of their Honored Citizens Check in, when it snows.

.........In the morning you look at your weekly pill container to know what day of the week it is.

So true.

And, then you look at the clock you have that tells you what day of the week it actually is and you say...

"Crap, I've just missed three days of my meds."

More true.
