Does anyone here relate? It is hard being a creative genius in a world of "conventionalists" whose only opinions are derived from the status quo.

Been there, done that. In spades.

Try getting so depressed that productive work is impossible--just when there's a restructuring going on and everyone is under a microscope. That's my bete noire.

Any time you want to talk, publicly or privately, just holler.

My personal theme song for these times: Elton John's "I'm Still Standin'"!

>Drinks on the house!

Thanks again Hub, I don't drink. Used to though. Wives number 1 and number 2 have testified that I was quite entertaining. I didn't even have to pay them to testify! Paid them for other things. I'm just generous, I guess.

If you need any coaching on groveling or brown nosing, my rates are quite reasonable. Can't do it for free, you know. Have to keep up the payments to the wives.

OK, here's a teaser. Try saying something complimentary to a higher up you don't respect. Keep it honest, you don't want to lose your credibility. For example: "You know, I really admire your flexibility. I'll bet you learned that at a Federal honor farm." Try to engage the person in light conversation, such as: "I must say you've improved your personal hygiene tremendously in the past few months. Did you do that on your own?"

Enough free stuff for now.
