My dispatcher at work left for good last Friday and went to his new job. I worked with him for 7 years and he had lots of corporate training but he always wanted to be a cop. He went to night school for this and graduated with very high honors. Most of us knew that he wanted to be a cop because his deceased father was a cop. I guess that makes sense.

I've got a deceased father that I never met. They tell me he was a piano player. He played in clubs in St. Louis. I like piano music but never wanted to play one. I also have a deceased stepfather who made airplanes in the Air Force and later at McDonald Douglas. After that he became a house painter. I have never wanted to make airplanes or paint houses.

Am I just being difficult or what?
