[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 689276, member: 18958"] I agree with you COM. I spent most of my work life hating a lot of it. Authority. Mean, snotty co-workers. Having to conform. Feeling trapped. There has only been one job I can remember being sorry ended. OK. Three jobs, if I am telling the truth. But something has gotten me to be a much happier person in the near fifty years since I began working. I believe[I] it is working.[/I] While I can tell myself it was the travel and the dancing, the truth that was the icing on the cake; the real cake was the work. My son seems willing and able to continue working with us every day. I worry because currently he is working alone (scraping floors) and M and the other guys are at another site. But what can I do? Part of work, maybe the most important part, is the subordination of those parts of oneself, to meet a goal, to conform. This is the necessary learning. To get this muscle developed. Thank you, COM and everybody. [/QUOTE]
