     I judge my days three ways:   
     A bad day is if I come home with less money than when I left.   
     A good day is coming home with the same amount I left with.   
     A really good day is coming home with more than I left with.   
     (I sometimes find change on the ground to and from work and at work, esp   
   around meters where drop coins and leave them.  Sometimes I find only a few   
   cents a week, sometimes nothing and sometimes close to or over a dollar in   
   nickels, dimes and pennies).

      I saw that in action once.   
      My then major was calling for a volunteer among five of us.  Four of us   
   took a step backward and one found himself front of them.  :)

     Too often kids fresh out of school and a piece of paper with the ink   
   barely dry seem to think they came waltz into some business and be made CEO off   
   the bat.   
     We have a lot of trouble in security with young people wanting a cheque   
   but not for any effort given.   
     I tell others if I ran the company it would be my policy to hire no one   
   under 30.     
     By then, hopefully, the people would have some idea of responsibility,   
   work ethic, etc.
