44 Years, No Sick Days, U.S. Post Service worker Deborah Ford retired this week with a perfect attendance record: 44 years on the job, without taking a single sick day. That means the 64-year-old Ford (above) logged just short of 11,000 workdays.
"You know what we say -- rain, sleet or snow" can't stop the U.S. mail, she told Detroit TV station WDIV-TV. "And that's what I live by. I'm coming in," said Ford, who used vacation time for doctor's appointments. And whenever she didn't feel well, "I'd shake it off," she said.

Chuck Howe, the Postal Service manager who oversees the Detroit district and its more than 13,000 employees in Michigan's eastern half, called Ford's service "amazing and remarkable."
He presented her with a special retirement proclamation during a surprise send-off luncheon Wednesday.
