I am so glad I'm retired. I may not live high on the hog, but I do live high on the piglet. :-)

You're a better person than I am. I couldn't handle that job. I don't have the patience for it. My life in management in the private sector seemed sufficiently full of aggravation. I'd not last a day in an environment you present.

I'm not a better person than you or anyone else. It was a job I could do, it included retirement benefits and health insurance. It turned out that I was good at Casework and wasn't afraid. I could go to the "Section 8" apartments on a Friday afternoon. The drug dealers knew I wasn't a threat to them and would merely look up and then go back to counting money when I walked by. It was usually some little old black lady calling out to those standinga round "it's okay, it's Miss Cxxxxxxx" and no one ever challenged me. I do not recommend this to anyone else. This was a "different world" back in the '70's through the '80's.
