yes, professionalism works, Id do well to keep that a bit better in
mind.
However its
most commonly used to mask eye watering levels of incompetence... just
drives ****e
ol philsie here nutz...
I usually nail them to the cross. today on the phone I couldnt
restrain myself, I should have taken charge of the conversation and
interviewed him and
run my agenda instead of letting the guy go on and on with blather.
I think underlying my less than optimal behavior was a completely
earnest desire to
insure that no way in hell would I end up back in someones engineering
office doing
11 hours days, sandwiched between idiots, for half of what I make in
a pleasant 4 to 6 hour
day now,

I had 27 men at peak in the 80's...(tradesmen talent)I ended up
working too hard.. going it alone is more pleasant for me. with a
lot of men you do a lot of sales, negotiations and quoting etc.
burns up a lot of time.
these days Im living a low overhead life style, dont have the need to
keep too busy.. its
very nice for this old fart.
