Back in '88 I was going to have lunch with my mother in one of the state capitol buildings - she worked in the state social security office. As I walked into the office I noticed a lot of young guys and gals sitting around the cafeteria tables twiddling pencils with their feet propped up and generally looking very bored. I had just come from the Murrah building and speaking to many of the federal law enforcement agencies that had offices there about future employment and opportunities. I was busy showing my mother a broucher on the DEA when she asked me why I couldn't be satisifed with a "regular" job. I looked outside her office again and asked her who those people were. She said they were mostly accountants who were there to audit the office. I said "because I can't imagine doing that for the rest of my life" to which she just shook her head.

Like many people say - to each his own.
