  My expiration date "Sometime in the 23rd century...the survivors of war, overpopulation and pollution are living in a great domed city, sealed away from the forgotten world outside.
Here in an ecologically balanced world, mankind lives only for pleasure, freed by the servo-mechanisms which provide everything. There's just one catch. Life must end at thirty unless reborn in the fiery ritual of carousel. " I got back to my desk after helping interview some summer staff and there was an envelope on my chair from urlLink OMERS .
It was my 2002 Pension Report, and the first one I've received in my career. If I retire right now, I'll receive a cool $805.06 a year. The very first section contains the following text: Your normal retirement date January 31, 2042 This is the last day of the month in which you turn 65 I have to say....this is pretty shocking to see. At once, it lets me know I'll be doing this, or something like this, for the next 38 frickin' years , but it also tells me when my services will no longer be required, and when my widow will receive a folded flag "On behalf of a grateful City-State".
This is the last day that you are useful. This is the last day that anyone will even remotely value your opinion. This is the day that your body will be ground into paste and served to Charlton Heston. So I've got that to look forward to.
