You all have a ways to go: 82 Years on the JobIdaho Candy Company's most famous employee is definitely Violet Brewer. Vi began work at Idaho Candy in 1913, when her mother took ill and Vi had to work to help support the family. Vi was only 13 years old at the time and her first job was stoking the furnace. Later on she became the premier hand chocolate dipper for the company. Vi dipped and rolled chocolates for 50 years and later went to the weighing department where she worked for another 30 years. Vi finally retired in 1995, 82 years after she started with the company. She passed away at the age of 101 after living a "sweet" life.

Christopher Columbus, the greatest Democrat of them all.
He left not knowing where he was going, and when he got there he did not know where he was. He returned not knowing where he had been, and did it all on someone else's money.

27 years and really thinking of throwing in the towel. 11 years on my first real job. So I have over 35 years of good numbers for SS, so I am a max payment, so working only adds to 401K.

Dang. A mere 15 years for me, but I was inormed today that I am expected to go to Germany in the Fall to acquire some new product training (which has actually been quite a joke each time I have gone), and that would require the covid vax. I told them that the vax ain't gonna happen. We'll see how it shakes out.
