What do we all do for a living?

But I am sure there is a lot of tedious cataloging and such work to do. I guess nothing is perfect and almost everyone has to report to someone no matter what you do.

Many years ago, when I was young and foolish (as opposed to my present old and foolish!), I recall complaining to my Mum one day about my then arsehole of a boss, with whom I was having trouble at the time. I remember saying to Mum how wonderful it must be to be self-employed and not have to answer to a boss. Owning my own little book shop seemed like an excellent idea to me. My Mum responded, "And you think you'll have no boss, if you're self-employed, do you? Well, let me tell you, every single customer who walks through your door is your boss, when you're self-employed. Stay where you are and try harder to get on with your boss. At least you've only got one boss there." A very wise woman, my Mum. :D

Oh Kerry I think your mother is a very wise woman indeed! I was once offered a promotion at work which I turned down in a second and have never regretted it. It may have been a little more money and would have got me off my feet but it would have made me part of administration. Something I am not meant to be. I consider myself a flunky floor nurse but when I leave work at least I am off work totally until I return the next week. Even if my last shift was 16 hours :(

I have a great deal of admiration and respect for the wonderful work done by nurses, Wishes. I have worked in the Health industry for the past 27 years and know for a definite fact that the industry could simply not survive without you guys. :D
