"No Good Deed Goes Unpunished".............
This means that people can do or try to do good things and still end up in a lot of trouble.No matter who is being helped, what assistance is offered, the circumstances surrounding the gesture or the nature of the actual support offered there will ALWAYS be a hidden penalty inflicted on the provider. Sidebar: I believe this is a quote attributed to Oscar Wilde |

....Dead as an door nail ....
This is one of many similes that puts emphasis on an adjective. It also refers to the big heavy studded nails used in medieval doors, which generally sat underneath the huge brass door knocker's. |

However in this day and age in the work place it seems one must always go above and beyond the call of duty and then you still might come into work one day and be told " SO SORRY your position has been eliminated" I am SO glad to be out of that friggin rat race! |

"Rat Race".........................
A rat race is an endless, self-defeating, or pointless pursuit. It conjures up the image of lab rats racing through a maze to get the "cheese" much like society racing to get ahead financially. The term is commonly associated with an exhausting, repetitive lifestyle that leaves no time for relaxation or enjoyment. |

I've never been employed...ie I've been self employed for about 50 years. The only rat race I really know personally is that of the world of homo and femo-sexuals who see opportunity to exploit the loneliness and kindness of others. It's a race to devour vulnerability. Rats are the detestable, sociopathic creeps amongst us and those who try to invade our "planet" because we are such vulnerable and open emotional beings.

Far as I can figure, this is the right thread. Never occurred to me that "rat race" only referred to "job" situations. I was simply suggesting that "rat race" is also useable in terms of where we struggle in communities of relationships where primacy is often based on "doing what it takes" to "get along" and pleasing
some so get accepted amongst others, and to have had the courage to "step out". To me, "rat race" is the obverse of being drowned at the bottom of an unaccepted, pool that you just didn't have the social skills to avoid. I'll make it simple...so many of our most wonderful, interesting and surviving Sisters got left behind behind they when they simply couldn't find a way to do more than be tossed into the mass of "interesting" examples used by "successful leaders of the movement in their own rise to the top.
