Janet is not a scientists or a doctor. She doesn’t work on a cure for cancer or nano technologies. She is an optician. She does my glasses. For 17 years. At the same place. This is what makes her precious to me. For those who don’t wear them, the glasses break quite often (or get lost, or get abused etc.) and it is nice to know that Janet is there for you.  Janet will not make millions people happy. She makes few people happy, but what if we would have millions like Janet?  Millions would be happy then. While it is not uncommon for people to stick to their jobs in the Midwest, it is a horrible situation here in California. People change jobs every 3-4 months in pursuit of only they know what. It seems that everyone is trying to reach the level of their incompetency. We all suffer as a result. For example I was trying to get an advise in a fragrance store the other day. I asked the girl how long she is doing it so that I evaluate her advice. Two weeks, was the answer. Then get me someone else with longer experience – I said. She asked around and it appeared that the longest tenure was 3 mo for the five girls in the store. While it is funny for a fragrance store it becomes scary when we talk nurses, doctors, builders, attorneys, engineers etc. That’s why I say “hats off to Janet”.
