    When do you intend to retire?

    Seen some contractors in late sixties still raking in the corn. Will you be long since retired? What's your plan?

          He's permie - as long as no-one notices he's dead, they'll carry on paying him for months.

            Good point. Might as well invoice anyway though

              Already have. Not yet 40. How?

                    Thinking about the permies around here, this might be more common than you'd suspect. Wasn't there a recent Monday Links link to a guy with no job who was still on payroll? The perfect crime...
