couldnt agree more. having someone help you now and again, isnt an issue, but that grows old really quickly and then you become the source of gossip or pity and then folks start avoiding your desk for fear you will ask for help, and they are also having a bad day. Then there are those that make YOU their misson in life. constantly showing up to check on you, or get for you, even on good days. ick!

I am so happy to be retired. that zoo made me crazy. now I just have to explain it to my cats.
