How would you feel?

You're right, Set, but in my experience, both as a shop steward/union president and as a manager, very few people have the balls or energy to do that.

Totally agree with Set here.

It doesn't take that much effort to type a few words when someone fucks up at work; this would free you from her at the workplace.

Still this would not solve her driving problem. I've lived in Florida for almost 40 years now, and find the elderly to be the most frightening drivers ever. I can't even count the number of times these drivers have killed other people.

From what I've heard, AARP in FL has quite a bit of lobbying power, thus enabling these folks to keep their licenses far past advisable limits.

My own stepfather was one of them (since moved out of state). I still recall the argument he and my mother had about what, exactly, they'd run over while driving: He thought it was a log, she thought it was a "two-tiered coffee table." Think: "You SAID it was a log!..."

Cripes. At least it wasn't a person.

It's all Einstein's fault. 200,000,000 miles per second, and not a bit more!

Seriously -- when I last visited Germany in January, I still drove on stretches without speed limits. Is there really a general speed limit now? I can't believe this could have happened without major public discussions, or that I didn't notice those discussions.

Hey!

yes.....eventually.

ok, here's the situation.

The enabler I mentioned was the direct supervisor Ms. Worthless for a long time. Didn't get in anyone's way, had her specific duties she handled with a bare minimum of competentcy. When Ms. Enabler moved up the ladder Ms. W, whenever she was made to understand she wasn't performing tasks correctly, she would run crying to Ms. E with "how mean everyone was being" At the same time, her disability was increasing, need I say more?

Yeah, things should have gone another way, but they didn't. Ms. W is not at a high enough level to go out on a limb over her.

She's a small pebble in a shoe you don't wear that often.

yeah, it's not so much the balls, as the energey expended that would be more usefully used elsewear.

ya gotta choose what hill you want to die on, and she wouldn't be worth it.

So are you saying you own a "snapper"...if so hang on to that thing, it's worth lot of money.

Excellent metaphor . . . i know exactly what you mean . . .
