Always wanted to do mattress testing. Given my age (62) and drive, I'm idealy suited.

Much too tired anymore to attempt my other unrealized avocation. That of QC Director in a Cathouse. Statistical product sampling and review. It would be an interesting career change, don't you think?

If I got sacked would that be the same as getting "laid off?"
