Subject: RE: How do you survive the day job?
I retired in November, 1999, so it's a little hard to remember. My job required me to spend a lot of time waiting for appointments. I supposed I should have attempted to make myself look busy while I was waiting, but that was stressful. I took a book along wherever I went, and read while I was waiting. I finished most of the books of James Michener and Leon Uris that way. I also tried to visit art museums and historical landmarks wherever I went. Wish I had discovered folk music communities earlier in my career. I was "connected" through Mudcat the last three years of my job, and I had music wherever I went.
