where do old programmers go?

[Jerry Davis]

#!/usr/bin/env perl

retire();

sub retire {
  wake_up;
  have_breakfast;
  go_4_wheeling;
  have_lunch;
  rag-chew_on_ham_radio;
  nap;
  have_dinner;
  watch_tv;
  nap_while_watching_tv;
  go_to_bed;
  retire() until $expired;
}
__END__
Seriously, I was being pushed into mgt at one time. In fact, I was told that 
because of outsourcing, we would be "worthless" if we didn't do mgt like 
stuff. Can you say team lead, or business analyst or something like that?
Well, I resisted, and went into SCM (as a developer) instead of being canned 
as a developer. Well, there is a lot that goes into being an SCM person. So I 
found a nitch that I can be in until I retire()!
