As you say you are near retirement. No doubt financially secure. Desperate to get a few more years of beer money, so if the younger generation goes under a bus to help that ambition so be it.

Some leopards never change their spots.
Ah Monihan. Such cynicism is painful to read.
-Not as financially secure as I’d like to be due to an inability to save for about ten years after Ansett
-But definitely not desperate.
-No, the managers I know are not ex blue shirts. And why do you say that with so much disdain? What is it about being ex Ansett that seems to get peoples backs up? Last time I looked we were pretty much the same as yourself and every other person on the planet.
-And finally, yes, I do change my spots. I’ve had to many times after nearly 40 years in the game. It’s called dealing with reality.

We agree, it’s not perfect. We just don’t agree on HOW unperfect it is.
Me, I’m going to stop and smell the roses now, regardless of whether it gets up or down.
