Very timely for me. I'm retiring tomorrow from a company that I worked at for 23 years. Nobody has asked me to say a few words though.

I was reading (i.e. pronouncing) the name in french ("klo-d" vs "kla-oud"), so it didn't work for me at all either. Attempting to pronounce it in english only ended up in "cloud", which made no sense.fresh_42 said:

Today was not a good day. I decided to try horse back riding this morning to relax. It turned out to be a freak'n mistake! I got on the horse and started out slowly, but then we went a little faster; before I knew it, we were going as fast as the horse could go. The horse made a sudden jerk and reared up, and I couldn't hold on. I fell off, but my foot got caught in the stirrup. The horse kept bucking and running, and was dragging me and wouldn't stop. Thank goodness the manager of the grocery store came out and unplugged the machine. But then he had the nerve to take the rest of my quarters so I wouldn't attempt to drive the Batmobile, and told me to stay away from the handicap carts.
