Re: But what about... #realJSOP2-Dec-02 6:57 #realJSOP 2-Dec-02 6:57  What you and I call "motivation" is commonly referred to as "sexual harrassment" by the rest of corporate America. They have no sense of humor anymore. Every company should be required to have and fill a "floosie" position, to be filled by a young large-breasted hard-body that actually likes to dress provacatively at work and show off her, umm, assets at the drop of a hat... ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends Re: But what about... Roger Wright2-Dec-02 8:09 Roger Wright 2-Dec-02 8:09  So true! Long before the PC era I had the luxury of hiring one... Stuck on a doomed project in a doomed company (it has since expired), it was impossible to get around the retired-in-place lifers managers who had to sign off and object to everything. One beautiful lady brilliantly schmoozed her way into the hearts of these miserable empire builders and made the paper flow! And armed with a fat checkbook and a '78 Pinto, she cruised the hundreds of electronics dealers in Orange county, CA, buying MIL-SPEC parts by the ones and twos, filling the production parts kits 18 months sooner than Purchasing could! Wherever you are, Theresa, bless you! You saved my project... "My child was Inmate of the Month at Mohave County Jail" - Bumper Sticker in Bullhead City, AZ Re: But what about...

But if had my druthers, I'd happily work for a company that ran by John's ideas about reality - any day! He's a surly, rude bastard at times, but some times demand that sort of reponse, and too many managers are afraid to go there. I despise wimps and politically correct pansies - and any company John would be willing to work for I have to assume would be short of pansies.
