Yes, we do. I was differentiating between working in the sense of a career
(salary, paid vacation, benefits, mobility within the company, etc.) and the
accumulation of one odd-job after another, without the consistency of the
aforementioned things.
Thanks, by the way, for building the case for Zoyd's work ethic in response
to my post. And yes, being a single parent is incredibly difficult work,
which ties in nicely with the Prairie and Zoyd post earlier.
Respectfully,
Tim
