Unless you are independently wealthy (good on you) you always work for someone. If not your employer, then you work directly for your customers. Your customers can often be very unrealistic and unreasonable, and it requires time, effort, and grey hairs to keep them happy. I often find myself humming "And I'm one step ahead of the shoe shine, two steps away from the county line, just trying to keep my customers satisfied." Wise words by Paul Simon.
