Diane,

That is a story! Can't imagine owning a Dairy Queen. There weren't a lot of things easy about my job, but one thing I can say is that the people who worked for me were bright and interesting. I thought very highly of them and tried my darndest to help them when I could. I especially had an "open-door policy" for women, not just those in my organization, but women throughout the company. I told my secretary if a woman called and said she wanted help with her career to find a slot for her. ..... BUT I have to say that my girls would tell you there were times I came home in a very bad mood. If we didn't show them our bad sides sometimes, how would they learn that life can be hard out there?
