NO, No, No Slim,
                            For 25 years I was in retail management,
primarialy Big Box stores ie Home Depot/Lowes type.  One day while driving
back from the Reno unit to Portland I had some time to think about what the
hell I was doing.

So after going back for a masters in teaching I have the best gig I ever
had.  (Pays 1/3 as much as my other job) but where else do you get paid to
be as mature as your "customers", in this case 8th graders.  Jeez I'm in
middle school and I've got the keys to the chemical locker.  In the last
month I've been paid to blow up some styrofoam cups and set off some
hydrogen and as an added bonus set my mustache on fire (not exactly planned
that).  After break I get to do physics, so that means bowling balls off the
roof among other stuff.  Hey, I didn't want to be in front of the pearly
gates and the only thing I could say was "Well I did help sell 387,000
toilets".  I'm having too much fun to do anything else.  Seems to me you did
the same gig too didn't you?
