    JM>    They appreciate my returning, several times over the years, to train   
    JM> new people.  A lot of people have passed through the doors over the   
    JM> years.   
      
     They ought to pay you like that.   
      
    JM>    When I returned in August I told them I was re-retiring at Christmas   
    JM> break.  Neither of the two I trained stayed long.   
      
     Makes you wonder if they got told to leave early, so you'd stay there.   
      
    JM>    There is too much to tell in just a couple of weeks.  A lot is   
    JM> learning by doing, on-the-job experience, etc.   
      
     Even if you prepared a manual, you wonder how quick it'd take for them to   
   learn it.   
      
    JM>    (*I don't know what's up with the young people today.  In the past I   
    JM> was cursed at, yelled at, told where to go and what I could do with   
    JM> myself, etc. Now the current crop of students say things like "yes   
    JM> sir/no sir" etc.  Its a bit unnerving at times.)   
      
     I was raised "old school"...where "children should be seen and not heard;   
   and not speak unless spoken to -- then it was 'Yes/No Ma'am/Sir'".   
      
    JM>   I can't recall what I was writing about.   
      
     That's why quoting in QWK Mail and email comes in handy.    
      
    JM>    I made some remark about our softening the beaches for them so they   
    JM> can just stroll ashore and go for walks along the beach.  :)   
      
     Just do like the movie where Jimmy Stewart said he was going to go get   
   "some sun on the beach", and this woman said he was swearing.

   ... On the other hand, you have different fingers.
