I like having a very direct and very powerful impact on worker safety and health.  If you put out a reg, it matters.  I think that's really where the thrill comes from.  And it is a thrill; it's a high... I love it; I absolutely love it.  I was born to regulate.  I don't know why, but that's very true.  So as long as I'm regulating, I'm happy.
