He’s counting down now

Robin has two days to go at work so it’s his turn to count down this week.  Wednesday is traditionally a much shorter day on the trucks.  It is organised that way to give the drivers time to attend any meetings that the management may call and to do a stocktake.  Robin suspected that there may well be a “bit of a do” at the warehouse in the afternoon to farewell him.  And he was right!  All the drivers and the warehouse staff gathered together in the early afternoon for a light lunch.  Kevin the boss said nice things and congratulated Robin on his retirement.  Robin was quick to point out that several of the younger drivers had remarked when he first started that “he was not going to last the distance”.  After 8 eight years in the job, he has certainly proved them wrong.  A bottle of Robin’s favourite whiskey and a restaurant voucher were very welcome gifts from the the staff collection.  One more day of work, then it’s “Retirement – here I come”.

Thanks guys, for the whip around
