“I’m retired.  Some people tell me to do volunteer work, but I don’t have the heart for it.  I’m not looking to spend the last part of my life taking care of other people.  I’m tired.  I’ve worked my whole life.  It was a nightmare out there.  Only way up the ladder was to stomp on other people.  Unless you stomp on someone, you’ll never get a promotion.  It’s your only chance.  And after you’ve given your coworker a good stomping, the boss will hire his own relative for the job.  Terrible, but that’s the way it is.  Everyone is out for themselves.  Don’t even get me started on my wife’s family.”
