[MushyMushy]

My mom was a nurse, and my dad worked for a local gas company (a laborer position, not exactly sure what it was called).

Funny enough, my dad spent all those years hating on management and anyone who worked in the office. You know, there's usually a big chasm between management and laborers. Well, after my dad retired, my DH ended up being a director in the IT dept for the same company. It took my dad quite a while to get over it.
