Working for the US Forest for 27 1/2 years. First twenty years it was fun. Then along came the increased rules where you had to kiss the environmentalist's behind to manage the forest. Then it became a Dxmmed job to go to. I got lucky. They were trying to reduce government and offered buy-outs for early retirement. I retired at 49 1/2 years old and have never regretted it! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!

Funny, I've been a registered nurse for over 25 years. I still do not think of myself as a nurse, I think of myself as a builder. Being a nurse is something I do to make money, I'm good at it, I deal with people well and it would be a waste of training and knowledge not to do it, but it's t not the way I think of myself. Like I said, funny.

WOW, being homeless and destitute would have been very tough. Perhaps you should have tried something else after the failure after 15 years.
