We’re police officers! We’re not trained to handle this kind of violence! — Demolition Man
How many times did I hear “I didn’t join for this! I joined for the college fund!” when I was in the Army? If you’re going to take a job, you have to do it with your eyes wide open and accept everything that job requires of you. If you take a job that has danger to it, you have to be honest with yourself about whether you’re willing to deal with that. If you take a job that’s going to bore the heck out of you, you have to do the same thing. When you cash the paycheck, you’re promising to be ready to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

/ October 12, 2014So very, very true. I think the best feedback I’ve gotten from my team is that they notice that I get in there on the ugly jobs right with them, instead of putting on my manager hat and retreating to the safety of the office every time.
By the way, thanks SO much for the lovely review of the book on Amazon. That just made my day. If you want any extras as gifts let me know, I’ll sell you some at my cost only and will mail them

And no need to thank me for the review. Thank you for writing the book. It just reminded me of how dusty the house can get sometimes.
