My old friend Melvin used to say, "Customer service would be a great job, if it wasn’t for all the customers." He and I worked in Customer Service for a large utility. Someone said, "The world would be a great place if it wasn’t for people." From my perspective, both statements are true.
Animals on the other hand, are hardly a nuisance that can’t be dealt with reasonably ease. Most people I know recognize that I like animals better than people. And I don’t like all animals. I’ve been bitten, scratched, chased, kicked and run over by animals. But, all they wanted was for me to leave them alone. People will do the very same things with no rational reason at all.
Through out the years, I’ve met some really nice people - good people. And, I’ve met some really rotten people - really rotten. Animals are a lot easier to get along with.
Today has been one of those days. I do volunteer work for some organizations - mostly computer stuff. The problem is that you have to deal with people that don’t do anything but complain. They only want what they want, without regard to limitations or rules. Maybe that’s why I like animals more than people.
At least I’m consistent.
