If you thought putting in a few extra hours on the weekend makes you a workaholic, Felimina Rotundo is here to show you up.

The 100-year-old woman in Buffalo, New York, has been working various jobs since the age of 15. She currently works at the College Laundry Shoppe, a dry cleaning store where she says she puts in 11-hour days, six days of the week.

And she wouldn't have it any other way. In fact, she'd prefer that her work ethic be the average, not the exception.

"Too many old people are retiring too young," Rotundo told local Buffalo news station WGRZ. "I don't think people should be sitting idle doing nothing, that's a waste of time."

She added that 75 would be a respectable age to retire, if health were a contributing factor.

Rotundo says she'll continue working at the laundry shop until she can no longer walk.
