After I retire I plan on volunteering full time doing animal rescue. So, I plan to never stop working.
That is what I meant by "never".
Well, "after I retire" would indicate you plan on retiring. And the fact you can do volunteer w*rk full time is usually a dead giveaway that you're retired...at least by how many would define it.

Actually I live in the office (small startup)... it's not bad, I have my own closet and it's usually pretty warm since it's directly next to the server room.
