Truer words I have seldom read before. One day it will end - and it is not as though you are being stripped of your Doctorate, your professional qualifactions, or your home. We all love the perks but sometimes I think that they are perks for perks sake. Basically they are a path to receiving something that you would get if you paid for it.
If you had never had it you would never miss it.
