Soooo true. And one more reason why I work for my self nowadays. My last "professional career" was cut short by a fella who did terrible work with mediocre results, but he was there in the bosses office every morning, drinking coffee and kissing arse.



Well, as I recall back in my workin' days, the bosses didn't especially care for it whenever I'd show up in their office for a little chitchat. Ya see, I'd usually give 'em my "unvarnished opinion" about the operation and what I felt might be their own lack of "management skills". However, luckily I had a union to represent me, and so unless I would've taken a swipe at the morons, they couldn't get rid of me 'cause I KNEW my job inside and out, AND I DID my job inside and out!

Saaaay, come to think of it, have you folks here at BA.com noticed I'm sorta prone to do that sorta thing even around HERE?!...that "unvarnished opinion" thing that is!

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
