    Not being able to say "happy holidays" and having to explain to your boss why you couldn't say that.

    Telling everyone that we had the identifying mark of love and knowing it didn't exist in the Hall or anywhere else!

    Liars.

    Here are a few of a very long list:

    (1) Having to go to those $%^$ing meetings whether or not I felt like it.

    (2) Having to go out in service on a regular basis, and not having control of when to go in.

    (3) Having to answer to the hounders on such matters as a white dress shirt, getting a particular style of haircut, shoes that shined, wearing the suit coat in hot weather, and matters that mattered little.

    (4) Having Christmas songs being such a big deal when they play in stores every year. They get stuck in your head, and often it's difficult to purge them even in February. Often, they even pop up in summer.

    (5) Not being able to listen to music without having to worry about is it clean enough for them; even if it looked clean enough, are they going to find some specious reasoning to force me to get rid of it.

    (6) Missing out on the computer/Internet revolution until recently.

    (7) Worrying about being at the Grand Boasting Session, including the scramble and waste of time to call the motels immediately after the list is released only to get a room on the first try in late April or early May.

    (8) Feeling like a God machine that doesn't think of its own real needs and wants.
