J visited Cecil County School of Technology as part of a middle school field trip. He started griping about it yesterday because “no friends will be on the trip.” According to him, no friends are ever on field trips with him.

In spite of his supposed lack of buds, he seemed to get something out of the visit.

Me:	“So you were most interested in the webmaster job. What did you like about it?”
J:	“Well, you get to sit on the computer all day.”
Me:	“That’s it?!?”
J:	“I don’t want to work in a box (cubicle); I want to have an office like Daddy. (Pause) I don’t want a box because if you fall asleep while you’re working, it might not be good if people can see you.”
Us:	(laughter)
J:	“And it’s better than building things.” (The school has a construction program.) “I don’t want to work outside.”

With career aspirations like that, he better marry well.
