24. Whom do you trust?

25. Think back... I love this work! This IS why I do what I do. It’s ok, I can live with it. It’s what I do for a living. This is life. I hate this part. I wish I could get rid of this junk I like these people and their work interests me. I can live with these people. Their business is ok. They are not my kind of people. I don’t like spending time with them, but I do, since I’m professional. I have no interest in their industry.
