"This is not your career"
This morning I had to call a school (my old high school actually) and ask for a teacher ... "Student Speaking" "May I please speak to Harold Gardy" The student must have had a brain fart, their was a silence, then the response ... "Um, okay" Silence "Is that a teacher or student?" Why the heck would I be calling to speak to a student? What are these kids doing in the office? "A teacher" "Harold Harvey?" she sounded a bit dumbfounded ... "No, Harold G, Gardy - in the tech department" "Oh, the tech department, okay." Finally I'm transferred to a voice mailbox that is full. After I hung up I said out loud, "That student was a bit of a ding-a-ling" Slowpoke replies, "Students shouldn't be working" "No, they should just put competent students at the front desk, I did a good job." "I just don't think students should work" "Hey, it got me out of study hall for a year ... and you should thank them, it prepared me for my future career" To which he replied, "This is not your career" I like my boss. 3 comments from 3 users

What do you think your career will be? I think you should be a writer.

I'd like that ... but I can't get past this permanent case of writer's block. I can sometimes a chapter or two, then BAM! I hate it all and must destroy it and start all over again!
