>Well, one of my first jobs was selling courses door to door on commision. I woke up at 5 AM, travelled 60 kms in window-less trains (people used the trains for target practice), started with a meeting with our boss, then out to the 40 degrees (Celcius) Buenos Aires summer, then go back to the office at around 8 or 9 PM, have dinner and then back home... at around 1 AM!! After all that work I had zero money for the cost of transportation + lunch + dinner outside took all the money and them some, ah, what would I pay for being young again :)
And now you are big boss (I think <g>) at Bc Rapid Transit. Hard work and advancing your skills paid off.
And I understand your nostalgia for the younger days; understand very well :).
