Desk Rage, they should get a job roofing in Texas in July and Aug. They will be much happier back at their desk in Sept.

BTDT - gave me a whole new appreciation for work that doesn’t involve daily manual labor, AND the satisfaction that I can always provide for my family if this military and legal thing doesn’t work out for me.

In my younger days, I was a roofer in Louisiana. After a few years of that I decided to go to college.

Now that I am cubicle bound, I have days when the stress, etc starts to get to me. Then, I look out the window at the 95 degree, 80% humidity summer day and think, "Well, I could be toting shingles right now."

That always makes the stress go away.
