So what are you waiting for Chris? 54?
I'll leave you with another quote from one of the greatest presidents that has ever lived.
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena , whose face is marred by dust and sweat an blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows , in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst , if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat"
Theodore Roosevelt, April 23, 1910

Quote:Tell me about it. As I sit here in my cube in Corporate America at the age of 44, I continually ask myself, "What went Wrong?". It will be three years this June since I arrived here and have yet to hear an original thought. My bosses boss acts like he is scared of me. But then why shouldn't he be? He is about 35 and makes about a buck fifty a year. He played it straight, is married, has three kids and the obligatory SUV. And, here I am laughing at him continuously. He sees the disrespect, but can not do a thing about it since I actually get the job done. He belongs to one screwed up generation. They have no spunk. It is like someone has brainwashed them all. Like little rats! God forbid, someone should question the status quo!
But in the end, I would never trade places with him. I may be where I am at, but I am continually amused as I watch the passing parade run past my cubicle. And then again, nothing is forever. Good things are right around the corner.
