I never wanted to see more than one guy clippinghis toenails with his feet on his desk. But there was always room for otherpeople's unique behavior.Any manager that enjoys having his ass kissed should be fired. When I firstencountered that situation, at quitting time I'd leave the building and takea short walk, allowing time for the idiot to leave. In later years, to easethe burden on myself, I resorted to telling whoever needed it that thebehavior would have a detrimental affect on their performance appraisals. Istill don't understand how any intelligent person can tolerate havingsubordinates who speak anything but the truth or who do less than theirbest. Having said that, I have to admit there are companies who's employees doNOTHING without first thinking about what their peers and boss would think.Getting into the company culture comfort zone is mandatory. IMHO they are ashameful lot.

Bullshit. The computers on a 747 are many. Try, for example, a sprinkling of quad G4 SBCs. Several SparkStations and or SparkServers.

Better to stay quiet, and have people _think_ you're an idiot. Rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Hahahaha... that was like the nail that pierced the guy's scrotum in "The Serpent and the Rainbow".

Just off from a kill shot, yet never to be forgotten, nonetheless.
