Trains are nice, but not to go to work everyday; busy, crowded, sweaty. I love working at Smith's, where I could choose my location and now ride my bicycle to work everyday. I haven't worked a 40 hour week since i've been at Smith's, and yet I make the same or more than at that other place. I love being my own boss! I second the 'thank you' and agree that we are very lucky. But as an old ice hockey goal tender friend always said: "only the good get lucky, and only the lucky get good!"
