A friend of mine, male, was bemoaning that as a contract worker, they might

So, Bev, has this experience broken you from placing yourself on the flesh 
market auctioning block?  I know for a fact, from having witnessed it, that

reason 
might be different, but the results aren't.

Someone recently asked me when was the last time I had a salaried (or wage) 
job.  I had to think a bit, but it was 1987.  Finally at one point I had to 
say, By God, never again!  And so it has been.
