thanks stopdog; you are so right about the last especially. The T I had for the longest time, I think I knew a lot more about her life and problems than she ever knew about mine and often provided a listening ear for her instead of the other way round.

It's when I get stuck doing paperwork or managerial tasks that my problems come into my focus.

I like your T's comments
and what you said about when you are dealing with other clients. Thanks
