Ok, I had to get back to this board because people on the outside aren't sane.  * Today I was in a conversation with a couple of co-workers, one a manager and one a "project coordinator" (I'm just a lowly staff nurse).* The gist was another co-worker wanted to quit the Master's program provided by our employer (I quit, it sucked, I hate people who grade APA format over content, but that's another rant) and the coord type was prodding her to continue by reminding her that she had little in her retirement account and asked her "Do you know the difference in what you get for Social Security when you are 65 compared to when you are 70?* Do you want to still be doing bedside nursing when you are 65?"* At this, once I picked my jaw up off the floor, I replied: " You're not planning to still be working at 65-70, are you?"* Non-plussed, they both looked at me and said: "We'll all be working until we're 70!" Of course, I replied loudly "I'm not!"* :P At which they shook their heads in that knowing way that people do with a child.* Oh, my, god, they were serious!!
I'm so glad to be back in the land of the sane.
