I don't know if       I would have been able to do a simple job all day for years or       not. Maybe I could and I'd have more challenging things I'd get       into after work. At the time a reliable paycheque and good       benefits sounded great to me. I figure you don't have to like       your job, and probably the number of people who do are in the       minority of workers. Most I think just do their jobs and can't       wait to get out of there at the end of the day.              That said, virually all jobs I've ever had that lasted for any       length of time, I usually ended up being moved or promoted into       a different job before too long, and usually the new position       was more challenging.              ---        * SLMR Rob * Strive to be politically perfect, not just correct        * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/305 153/7715 154/110 218/700 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 111 114 206 300 307 317 400 426 428 470 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 705 266/512 291/111 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 460/58 712/848 902/26 2320/0 105 3634/12 5075/35       PATH: 2320/105 229/426           |
