Jeeeze  I don't know if I could deal with that.

I've said it here before but that's the reason I don't do commercial fire
anymore. It's not worth the aggravation in dealing with assholes and all the
wasted time devoted to paperwork and jumping through frivolous imaginary
hoops.

Faced with people who are intentionally obnoxious disagreeable and play
ignorant I tend to not be a nice person. I'm afraid that I'd tell them all
to F..k off and then the logo on my company letter head would be a head shot
of me holding a number under my chin.



Jim  do like the rest of us old timers,
"learn a few choice words in a really foreign  language"  and spew them as
the events may dictate ...   LOL
