[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3589797, member: 58386"] Look, Old Flatulence is the perfect Express box jockey. Barely functional not exactly here on a Fulbright southern white boy with a mind incapable of independent thought. He loves his job because he was CONDITIONED to love his job. His little letter delivery job was the only life experience that shaped and formed his identity . Now that he will soon be disposed of by the company he is exhausting all possible means of acquiring a new identity with no success including launching vicious personal attacks against people he wouldn't know if he passed them on the street. I know what it feels like to be forced into an early and unplanned retirement by events beyond my control. At the same time I came away in a better than average economic position and far better than many in the same age group living in this depressed rural area who are today still out there working labor intensive jobs for rock bottom wages. Given my fortunate outcome and after 23 years working a job that was nothing more than corporate and public servitude it's good to become a stranger to many. As we can plainly see with people such as Old Flatulence and Dano 59 the task of acquiring a new social and professional identity is a daunting one. While a life of privacy and obscurity has many benefits, is my hope that they will acquire and adapt to their new lives well enough to the point where they will no longer feel a need to bad mouth complete strangers just to get somebody to pay attention to them. .
