Well. Having worked for an awful PRICK of a boss since 1996.01.03, the day I was officially self-employed, I looked forward to retirement. I ran my consultant engineering company with one employee and he worked like the dog I mushed.

I recently held a retirement party for him and gave him something he should have had for a while... the perfect gift. When he is using the oven in his stove, he can't see the time on the stove clock and, since the piece of shit microwave oven clock stopped keeping the correct time after only 25 years (ya can't but good quip anymore, can ya?!), it's a bother so I bought him a new kitchen clock and presented it to him at the big retirement bash! He programmed it and installed it on the weekend and posted a pick of it on
