Je ne sais plus quand il a pris sa retraite, mais il avait déclaré à ce moment-là qu'il attendait ce moment depuis 27 ans, car chaque jour, il lui paraissait impossible de se rendre au travail, même s'il aurait pu quitter ses fonctions à n'importe quel moment.
It's interesting that when he retired — I don't know how many years it was — but I think he said, " I've been waiting 27 years to leave this," because he felt every day it was almost impossible to go to work, even though he could have left at any time.
