"LONDON (AFP) - Britain's oldest worker has enjoyed a day off to celebrate his 100th birthday but explained he would become a "miserable sod" if he ever had to retire for good." http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060901/od ... ouroffbeat

I can not relate...I have never had a job that I would do if I wasn't getting paid to do it and didnt need the money....If I win the lottery I would never work again...I would have no problem keeping myself happily occuppied.
