Hi, Mary I've thought that as I get older, I will be less worried over my "boundaries" and how many jobs I can get through, and just allow myself to blow off some time chatting with my customers, some of whom are very interesting people, especially the older ones. Well, I do that already, only now I sometimes feel guilty about the "wasted time", though I feel less guilty with every passing year. At some point, I think it gets reasonable to ask what we're saving all this time FOR? Susan
