Before I retired in 2000, I worked for about 45 years in the aerospace industry. Most of that time was spent organizing, writing and editing technical proposals and reports as well as a few procedures and just about anything else that needed writing. Before that, I went to college and earned a BA in English. Sometimes, working was fun, but mostly it was very high pressure and a pain in places that shouldn't hurt so I retired as soon as I was eligible to draw Social Security. Although it doesn't pay very well, retirement beats the duckweed out of working for a living. Probably that was too many details.
