Change this function:

To this:

void Test::worker(int delay) {
    try {
        while (true) {
          boost::this_thread::sleep_for(boost::chrono::milliseconds(delay));
          cout << "Doing some work" << endl;
        }
    } catch (boost::thread_interrupted const& e) {
        cout << "INTERRUPTED" << endl;
    }
}
