 Retirement letter was written by Neapok. You can find it on the scp wiki and a link in the description down below It is under a creative commons share alike attribution license Hey kid You know, I never knew how I'd write this it's been on my mind Long before today, and I've finally gotten the balls to put it on to paper I'm retiring Don't get me wrong. It's not like I hate it here Every day I still get to see the same people who make me smile who make my job here easier We crack jokes about how we don't get paid enough for this But the good old days before we implemented this modern tech are About how old we're getting And that's the thing I Think I'm too old to keep doing this. I Sure, there are other older folk. I Know there's one grandma's at least a decade older than me and she knows damn well what she's doing That's great and all but all those old folk Still get that kick in them still get that spark keep making this place better for everyone else and Me well, I think you figure that out on your own You know, I always wondered where I would get Working at this site I always figured that I'd work here forget all the weird stuff apply any skills I got in the job market To think that I'd be stuck here for so long Now I'm considering retiring. I started working here with two other friends. Did you know that? Called ourselves the triumvirate said we'd all make our names known and damned if we didn't Things were easier back when the triumvirate was whole. We all had different roles, but Damn it. Did I look forward to seeing their faces? You know the saying through stinking bastards can beat the sleep and dragon It felt like we could do anything when we were together One of them made a name for himself by getting into trouble with one of the departments on his first couple of days Got a whole bunch of complaints. He was difficult to work with and then he became one of the greatest men That team ever saw Of course, he was also the first one to leave The other one stuck around much longer got help with soul He knew damn well what he was doing probably the best out of us and he got promoted fast Never saw a more deserving candidate than him Ended up leading one of the sections I was in But that wasn't enough to keep him at the site and he left to Maybe not permanently. He's still in the payroll list and I think a couple guys have a month's speed dial, but I Haven't seen him since And that just leaves me I'm getting old kid Gone or dreams of me quitting and finding a job in the light Nobody wants to hire an old bastard past his prime folks my age. We're no longer clever or gifted anymore It's always something about it experience Or being outdated with me Granted I don't trust all this new tech, but you shouldn't either Write those damn reports yourself. Don't just feed it into an AI Who knows what mistakes it might make you can't trust anybody but yourself And I've still got stuff keeping me attached to the site got lots of friends with jokes It's always new folk to train section heads to support researchers to bug hell. We even got evil corporations to battle the whole nine yards Fight with the mouse never ends, right? But I also know that I'm falling out of love with this job. I don't attend meetings every time I mean, I never liked meetings, but I stopped caring enough to finally quit show it up Did wonders for a mental health All that work I used to do that may be famous to begin with It's an afterthought which I kind of prefer Looking back fame and glory was kind of a kitty dream You ever read the romance of the three kingdoms There's a scene where is the one day you and Chang and you day Becomes sworn blood brothers under a peach tree sworn to live together sworn to die together This place was a peach tree Our desire to help the site was our oath and then my two buddies have left what uh What's the point of being known for anything Who are brothers and now it's just me And these past years haven't all been rainbow and sunshine Friends of mine left one after another some willingly with clean rap sheet some marked by scandal couple left because they couldn't handle what was happening to the site and went to Somewhere else suited their talents more and life moved on You know now that I think about it. I talk about how I don't care about being known anymore, but I wonder what What will my legacy be Will I be someone who did what he could for the site to stay afloat? Or will I be an infuriating prick who harassed people for breaking rules? They probably would never get in trouble for Someone beloved by his co-workers or someone who was beyond incompetent and only barely tolerable I've worked up the courage to ask it Maybe I never will that's the first half of retirement letter I think you should go under the scp wiki and read the rest the link is in the description below Thank you very much for listening If you enjoyed the video hit the subscribe button and hit the notification Build next to that so you're notified when I upload new videos and then head on over to patreon.com Ford slash D Sumerian and pledge at any level like everybody here on the screen already has including Sinjeriki who's pledged at a hundred dollars.
