see, i just don't understand that at all. i can't WAIT to retire, i am counting the minutes (and sadly, by the time i appreaoch the current legal retirement age, i'm sure it will have been moved back to 98 or something and i'll die before i get there). right now, all this "work" is just cutting shamelessly into my life. i have SO many better things to do with my time. i should have been born one of the idle rich ; i would never get bored. seriously.

oh, well we'll miss you ! i can't make any similar resolutions, i'm pretty sure i wouldn't have any friends left if i did. but i can understand, in your line of work. just realize you might end up sane but really lonely (actually i'm not sure about the sane part...).
token on topic remark : i'm not sure i would trust electronics bought from a vending machine. it evokes melty chocolate bars too much. and what do you do if you swipe your credit card, and your liseuse gets stuck right before the drop, and you can't retrieve it ???
