Good point. It's very soothing to see a garbage person and tell myself that he's ecstatic taking away my garbage as his life's calling. Nice.

Again, thats just me.

Forgive me for my arrogance and condacension. The next time I see the septic-tank technician, I'll remind myself he's thrilled to be fulfulling his life's mission managing the waste of his masters.

I'm very happy to hear you're very happy with paying half-a-grand for this wisdom. LSC is very happy, too.
