:bravo:
Thanks for comming out of retirement, lorretta.
I guess it’s no coincidence but I’ve been thinking along these exact same lines. I have not been through something entirely disimular to CraigTPE. In my case it’was in the form of a staff meeting which resulted in a thread, entitled “what am I doing wrong?” [url]What Am I Doing Wrong?
But there it is in what 'ole Lorretta, from her death bed, on the edge of retirement or whatever, has very precicely come to the self-same realisation and wrote it here. Thank 
for the internet, and you guys. You guys!
I suddenly asked myself: why do we have this idea that our calling has to realised in some kind of dream job, or indeed in any job? Why in any job - in payed employment? - that has to be to do with the Protestant Work Ethic and the whole capitalism fandango covered so nicely by Max Weber. Why is some kind of dream job some kind of ego boost? That’s just dreaming… Like ideas of romance and marrige - they have only come together through lazy wishful thinking.
