    There are some jobs that you just do not want take on. Would you want to clean cesspools all the time? Personally i wonder what that pays.
    I had a similar job like that in college. While the hourly pay was not that great, I was guaranteed a certain number of minimum hours even if I finished sooner.

    It was not "all the time" though....it was only on Saturday and Sunday mornings, I had to clean up the dorm party room from the night before. Rubber boots, rubber gloves, and a respirator made it tolerable. Usually took just under 2 hours, and I was paid for 4 hours (yes there was an inspection afterward).

          Not really. I've done that on several occasions with a golf club. It is called a penalty stroke.

            C'mon now Doc. I think my being a manic depressive is a good thing almost half the time.

              I feel the same way. My glass is both half full and half empty.

There has been talk of putting me up in the ring of fame but my humility will not allow that. Feel free to come up to me in Section 9 to get my thoughts SS. I'm the very handsome man that sits in that section.

                    Loyality means sticking with a thing in good and bad times. Not willing to do that, stay home, I got this.

                        Have you been working on that?
                        Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

                          As a matter of fact RC, I have. I would perhaps have recommended the same treatment for you but it might dull your razor like edge. Besides, I enjoy what you write sometimes too much to want to change it. And besides, it is all balanced out by the sensitive and sensible things you have posted here and elsewhere.

                            Anyone mention USCHO opinion poll #17 this week yet? Also a single vote on the USA Today one.
