I totally pity you, man, I really do.

I'm too old for my job on many days, too, and I've had both of my knees replaced to show for it. Hoofing it around a hospital for 12 hours a day, pushing equipment, ventilators with patients attached to them in hospital beds to places like CT Scan and procedure rooms. I can't do stairs anymore and I don't run to Code Blue's (I walk briskly). I don't even get adrenaline rushes in the ER anymore, like I used to. I just take care of the patients.

Three more years.....three more years.....three more years......until I have my 20 in federal service.....then retirement.

WOOOOOOOOOOO SAHHHHHHHHHHHH.......
