1.5 qt recipe in 1 qt souffleOk, here's my standard recipe and although my mom would feed 4 with it, we find with a salad it is great for 2. I can reduce this recipe...

Can I quote you on that one ? :-)
I can't disagree with you on that one. I always made an effort to get along with my co-workers. I figured that it made my day to day life so much more pleasant if I got along with the people I had to spend my days with. The first few jobs I had after I finished school were in small offices and we were all in our early 20s. We all liked to party. We went for lunch together, went out for drinks after work once or twice a week and we had weekly baseball games.
Things changed as I got older. I ended up in a branch of a large government department. I had a long drive to work, spent a lot of time on the road at work, had a house to look after and a wife and son at home. I didn't want to drive all the way back there to party. For the last 16 years of my working life I worked out of a satellite office, but out on the road a lot. I didn't spend a lot of time in the office, but I eventually learned about the back stabbing office politics. I enjoyed my job, the independence of not having a local supervisor breathing down my neck, not having people around to criticize my work behind my back.
When they built a new facility near us with a 7-24 operation and on site supervision I did everything I could to avoid being shipped to it. I lost our local office but I still had a car to work out of and a parking lot to leave it in at night. I know for a fact that the guys working 7-24 at the new facility were doing a lot of unpleasant womaning and complaining about the three of us who were left. I discovered that they never missed an opportunity to try to screw us and get our wings clipped.
Since I had to take my weekly reports and all my paperwork into their facility I really had to put on a happy face and pretend that I liked them all. There was no point in confronting them about their back stabbing. I knew when I was eligible for early retirement. They were nice enough to come to my retirement party and invite me to drop by and see them once in a while. I haven't bothered. I want nothing to do with them. They were people I had to put up with because I was paid to. I have nothing in common with them other than having worked there long enough that I no longer have to. Now I spend time with people I like because I want to.
, but to tell you the truth, I am glad that I was on the road and working on my own most of the time.
