Hey I’m Retired!

I work for the bank

I work for the council

I work for all HM government departments

I work for the Doctor

I work for the Utility companies

I work for the Dentist

I work for airlines and public transport

I work for Theatres and Cinemas

The list is never ending

 

I only used to have one employer

Hey I’m retired (or so I thought)

My day is one long slog on electronic devices

We now live in an age where services are provided, as long as we do all the work.

How clever is that!

 

We even provide free personal information

They then sell it and we get no commission

Must dash, need to pay the ‘handling’ charges

for all the bookings I’ve made myself

Oh, then check out my own flaming goods

at Sainsbury’s!!

I think you have hit on something here, Rick. The worry is that we will end up taking this all for granted and think it normal. Back to work, perhaps!
