The money for the bridge was recovered through Erick's cafeteria plan, you will recall (unlike the dental work YOU had that Erick and I paid for). Congratulations on feeding yourself and cleaning our ducts. Paying $300 for a duct cleaning seems like an equitable trade for living in a house for 1 1/2 years and not paying any rent

Take the worst hour at work you've ever had and, on top of all the emotional and psychological abuse you endured during it the reality is that you've earned exactly enough to go see a movie.
You go to the movie and, hopefully, it's an amazing film that will justify the hour of hell you endured to earn enough for it. Incidentally, the movie may, at most, be two to three hours long.
So, in essence, suffer for an hour and you could earn two or three enjoyable ones in return.
Funny though how I can't come up with a formula based on months and years of abuse with an appropriate return without my head exploding. Still, at least in the above example you got a good movie out of it...
...hopefully it isn't a Julia Roberts movie. Cause then you just bled for nothing.

Ha, thanks - that was a decent alcohol-fuelled analogy. :)
I didn't bleed for nothing... and I learned a lot - about others, relationships, and myself. I guess this means I may have grown as a person a bit. Not too long ago, I might have dismissed the entire thing as a complete waste of time (which it wasn't - not quite, anyway).
