Every little bit helps, at least for me. I'm not sure how well I'd do calling my own shots - I know I'd enjoy the freedom, but I've managed to make a pretty good mess of the parts of my life that I HAVE been "in charge" of. <br /><br />Many prayers headed your way; your podcasts and blog have greatly helped my own spiritual journey.<br /><br />JasonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656667.post-76154788925007709522012-02-01T09:22:51.561-07:002012-02-01T09:22:51.561-07:00One tool neither mentioned nor pictured is your se...One tool neither mentioned nor pictured is your sense of humor.

I've never lost all of it even working construction. I'm in an office building away from the campus and I work through my lunch so I can get off early to be able to get to my other jobs by 4:30. So far it is working for me. When I used to work construction by myself I never ate lunch. If I had employees they'd want lunch so I'd eat with them because I "had to". I have a goofy metabolism I guess. And there is a McDonald's two blocks from my office if I'm starving.
