You nailed it. That's probably the main reason I left the power company in 1994.

Reminds me of a particular weenie I've been dealing with lately. But I'm going to do it right this time. When I left the power company in '94, I wasn't financially prepared as well as I should have been. This time when I tell the weenies to kiss off, I will be prepared in all areas and it will be the last time I'll tell them to kiss off because I won't have to do it again.

And in case anyone's wondering, even though I doubled my salary in 90 days as Gordon said and I will soon have the products ready that Gordon mentioned, I hate dealing with the weenies as much as anyone.
