I know what you mean. I'm the kind of person who jumps out of bed in the morning wide awake and capable of solving complex problems in a single sitting. By mid-afternoon, I'm depleted and have trouble remembering where I put my keys.

Why, thank you, Trish, I am honored you feel that way. And while this isn't morning for me (about lunch time when I was working) I did finally figure out the other one and it is certainly true for me, although I've come to realize this is not a popular viewpoint. I deleted it from the quote because in the edit box it shows up in tags and my tired old eyes were having problems with that. I used to edit SGML in another life.

I spent most of my life as a blue collar worker, semi-skilled in manufacturing. However during a layoff, I went back to school and got a degree in Technical Writing and did that for a couple of years. I put in long hours of physical labor for a lot of my life, but no physical work ever wore me out as much as the technical writing I did. Once I got used to it, I enjoyed the work immensely, but it didn't pay me enough money as the offer I was given was a dollar an hour less than I would make as soon as I went back to the factory, to clean restrooms with no real responsibility other than to keep the facilities clean and stocked.

I really enjoy your work on here and eventually I'll be posting a story or two. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

One summer I was a janitress in an aluminum foundry. By the end of the day I was covered in soot from head to toe. That and a few years of escorting was enough "physical" labor for me to last a lifetime, though editing SGML sounds pretty grueling to me.

Here's a pick me up for the weekend.

Thanks to everyone who has kept this thread going. It's really great. I love the caps that try to change my sexual orientation. I think those are the hottest. Also, any cap with sexy tgirl feet. Yum. Thanks again.

Thanks, Trish, that was just the pick up I needed. Janitress at an aluminum foundry doesn't sound like a "fun" job to me, nor does any janitorial work. I've done quite a bit of physical labor simply for the pure enjoyment of it as I used to work in historic railroad preservation. Those of us in the hobby referred to it as playing with a full sized train set.

You know what they say about the difference between men and boys...
