Damn straight, Skippy. My mom was a librarian. I was reading at a 6th grade level in Kindergarten. I could speed read 1000 wpm in high school with full retention.

I will qualify that with the fact that people do treat us pretty badly, and there is a high level of stress. it's just the line of work. I have had former marines and engineers from other areas of the base come work for us that couldn't get out fast enough.

We have a good group of people, so it isn't terribly high stress.

It doesn't have one, it takes one.

Could be a kid's tv show, The Adventures of Hampton Hampster the Hipster.
