AIG CEO Robert Benmosche: 80-Year-Old Europeans Need To Be Working

[JDPriestly]

46. Try to explain that to your boss when you miss a deadline. That's the problem,

meeting deadlines when you are doing computer work. I suppose it depends on the job.

In my job, I typed, read and e-mailed at the computer far too much. I loved doing it, but my back went out some time after I retired. I was hunching over -- just as I had hunched over for years at my computer.

Now I'm trying to straighten my back -- doing exercises to reverse the damage I did to myself. You don't realize when you are young just how much sitting in the same position for long periods of time with only short periods of relaxation or contrary movements can do to you.
