[QUOTE="Harry Manback, post: 1079947, member: 8872"] Meh, you either have it or you don't. 15 years ago I went on the tour, got the whole "this job is a nightmare" monologue and decided to take a swing at it. I came in with the mindset of " you won't break me" and I carry with me everyday whilst moseying in on the designated walk path. Is it hard? Sure. Am I rewarded for my efforts? Absolutely. I see it every time I glance at my children sleeping in their warm beds, in the house my Union job affords. In the nice car my wife drives them to daycare in. At their pediatrician's office when they get sick. I'm rarely given a pat on the back for a job well done, but I receive as much as I give. Sometimes my wife will lament to me about how hard her day was and I chuckle a little on the inside. "How was your day?" she will sometimes ask, to which I respond " I don't really feel like re-living it." Still somehow, I manage to get up in the morning and do it all over again. I guess what I'm trying to say is: Don't let them break you. It is after all, just cardboard boxes. Also keep in mind, if it were easy, wouldn't everyone be doing it? [/QUOTE]
