Random Thought for Thursday 9/17/15

As I wind down into the last day of work before a two week vacation (including a trip to Nashlanta [more about that next week]), it strikes me that we should be happy for the jobs we have (especially ones that allow you to take a two week vacation).

After all, somebody always has it worse than you do.  (And I'm not just talking about jobs that *don't* offer two week vacations.)

Take, for instance, those who served Pharaoh Pepi II, a pharaoh who wasn't a fan of  flies ... so much so that he had slaves put next to him smothered in honey so that he would be fly-free.

*That* could be your job.  Just sayin'!
