Hey Chuck, I've got my problems with you -- but sure as heck not with what you do for a living. The fact that anyone would ever feel the need to defend an honest day's work is sad. THere were times in my life when I would have done anything to score your job. I've done jobs that are far less glamorous, and far less important (I for one appreciate a clean rest room). And there have been plenty of times when I've looked at certain friends of mine in disgust because they've refused to take a job that's "beneath them" -- opting to sponge off me instead. A job's a job, and as long as you do it well, it's worthy of respect.
