expecting some changes with my old forecasting group expecting my extremely competent manager to resign in coming months the stunted growth has had difficult longlasting consequences it is impossible to double the staff as a remedy so BrunHilda's legacy continues every day with understaffing, dumbed down duties, clerical overload yes, I think a Gift Certificate to Dr Kevorkian anonymously sent from Florida, or perhaps fully endorsed by me, would be an appropriate response to BrunHilda ironically, I will remain on the Staples softball team rules permit one "ringer" to play per team my manager promised me that ringer spot last year my batting percentage was a lofty .710 with power that is power between outfielders, not over outfielders it will be good to maintain connection with those deadbeats I only hope my colleague Buzz plays shortstop it would be unfortunate if somebody releases the air out of BrunHilda's Lexus tires in the parking lot she works late into the evenings oftentimes that might inconvenience her / Jim Willie CB

I'm glad I wasn't you during that. I had it easy where I worked, most everyone was old, and I was the young Turk, ready to take on all jobs, they loved me, since they where busy planning retirement and winding down there careers. When I retired before they did, my boss said to me. What you going to do with you time Greg. I said something on the order of the following, become an expert at retirement so by the time I'm your age I can play. What is retirement anyhow? I'm still trying to figure it out. It must be state of mind. <g> greg

One benefit of working for small companies ( I have worked for a few although now I'm in a big company) is that when you leave you can tell off the President/Owner personally. It's a special occasion when you can give cause and example from the top decision to the way it is carried out by the last member of the team. Sometimes I want to go back just because there was something else I forgot to let him know. TP

Jim, I bet BH will never admit she was wrong regardless of the evidence presented to the contrary. Funny how those in positions of authority don't need to bother with facts & credible evidence to establish that they are right. Funnier still that these folks manage to continue to climb the corporate ladder, generally with much ease (& a trail of crushed subordinates who were used to grease the path). Not to diminish your story Jim, but I've been there before with more than one employer. It's been my experience that your good work survives, or escapes, in spite of the obstacles created by these individuals. Unfortunately, it is usually at great cost to the individual tasked with the responsibility of accomplishing the assignments for which they will rarely be appropriately recognized. And we are the world's economic powerhouse Go figure. Well, at least she made it possible for you to become Free Willie with the great tan, screamin' beamer, superior TA & econ analysis, oh & that jackass style. For that BH, we porchies are grateful ;-) w2
