i like the nighttime... partly because i am semi-night-person. partly because of the calm. my parents go to sleep and its calm around here... very calm, going to get tea or that midnight snack, playing some Online game... yes, nighttime is good time.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I don't think that taking satisfaction in justice makes you a bad person.

I had a boss that was good at 'politics'. I had been working at the company for 6 years. I had written all of the accounting software which included a job costing package.

Another company bought us and merged the two companies together. This yahoo was put in charge of me. I swear, I tried to get along.

He kept taking credit for my work and such.

Then they bought an off shelf accounting package to replace the software I had written. This is not evil in and of itself, but frankly the software did not meet our needs.

A year later in a staff meeting, I was asked for a status report & told the president that this software would never do what the production managers wanted. He said "Didn't the salesmen tell you it would?"

Oh how sweet.

I replied, "I was never allowed to talk to the salesman!"

My boss had let the president believe that I had recommended the software. If it failed, it was my fault. If it succeeded, he could just correct to the truth that he had picked it out without consulting me.

Sneaky bastard!

A month after I left their employment, he had a heart attack and had to undergo surgery. I take no pleasure in that, but I do take pleasure in the things that came out when I was called in as a consultant to work with the CPA they used as a temporary fill in.

What goes around comes around.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I can relate to that.
I started my computer carrer selling them on commision. I had lined up a 20 plus system sale. Gave my paper work to a trusted colluege, let my customer know what what was up and went on vacation.
I came back to find another sales man took the phone call when it came in. Took over the sale saying it was a "corporate sale" and I was "retail". Ouch, that cost me over 1000 dollars take home.

The "retail" sales staff had to handle incoming phone calls. Mr A** stopped getting his Messages. After a few weeks customers started to complain to managment. The "Messages" were found crumpled up in said A** waste basket and under his desk which he was too sloppy to empty or clean......

I remember making eye contact as he was walked out of the store.....

"Aiie! It burnsss! The day-moon, it blindsesss usss! It sssearsss our flesssh!"

I feel ya', I feel ya' man. Why do you think I chose this name?

I don't think I've been awake while the day-moon was up for more than an hour since I quit my day job a week ago. Yep, go to sleep at 0700 and wake up at 1700, that's the life of a vacationing nocturnal creature. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

I like nighttime best. I hate crowds. Let me rephrase that. I REALLY HATE crowds. At night, you don't have to worry about people since most of them are asleep http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Another benefit of night time is that the net seems to be faster as all the other people aren't surfing anyway
