"And what did you like best about your last job?" and my career destroying reply "leaving".

That's where I will be soon... tomorrow, with luck. Now that I see the outcome of your response, I guess I'll have to find another one. Tough one...

Back in the '80s, my friend (to whom it would never to occur to carry a PSK) was running to her car in the rain, and noticed a small plastic bag in the puddle right beside her car: $130 and enough pot to make a few joints.

Personal Motivation Speakers (PMSs, and just as useful) always say to keep your shoulders back, your head up, and watch the people. Well, he**! How are you going to find useful items like knives and cash THAT way???

Kind of reminds me of my father. He isn't into the whole PSK/Be Prepared thing. But, just like his father he won't go anywhere without his wallet, little knife, and lighter. He might not officially know anything about wilderness survival, emergency prepardness, or any of that.....but he knows carrying a few small things can get him through his day a little easier. To him it's not survival, it's just common sense.
