Tech Master: I haven't forgotten your application. It's just that I've been having trouble deciphering the FBN Rules and Regulations. It seems the definition of "productive behavior" is somewhat vague in this particular area of corrective procedures. Your primary strength appears to be in "destructive" activities, so I immediately thought it was a terrific fit. There's nothing less productive than destructiveness. Definitely FBN'ish. But then I thought about the overall effect of said destructive activity. If it resulted in an overall positive effect for the company, then it could be considered that a productive task was accomplished. Hmmm, that doesn't seem to be FBN'ish. You see my dilemma here, of course. We just do not allow any of that productive stuff. Our corporate charter expressly prohibits it. Now, it's OK for Huntum, Beatum, and Tellum to perform their corrective activities ... they're not employees ... we just commission them occassionally to take care of certain ... uh ... well, you know ... problems. I have considered all kinds of variations on the description of your professed profession. In fact, I thought about softening the blow of your activity .... like maybe use a softball bat instead of a baseball bat. But, that didn't seem to change anything. (The people I tested out the theory on are recovering, albeit slowly). Perhaps you have another specialty that could be seen more clearly as a non-productive activity? The copier is ready and raring to copy your stock certificates as soon as we can agree on a position that matches your ... shall we say ... impressive skills?
