I remember a guy worked at head office in San Diego - a civilised place, no, good weather etc - who said several times that he would die in harness, no retirement, so here was this middle-aged guy working 10/11 hours a day, 10 days vacation a year, and no pipe and slippers either, buying loads of useless crap, gotta be better than the guy next door, right?
That was sad, actually.
