That's the great thing about music. There's no right or wrong. If it floats your boat, crank it.

I can't anymore. Between the jet engines and years of rocking out without hearing protection, my ears are toast. Gotta save what I have left.

Reminds me of the time I was sitting in my office at Ft Ord, CA, commanding a AIT Company, when this young soldier approached my First Sergeant ...... demanding to see "the old man" (that would be me ..... at age 26).

First Sergeant Washington, explained to this soldier that:

There were two kinds of people in the world ...... the fuck-es and the fuck-ors ....... and in this case, you is the fuck-ee and the Army is the fuck-or".

That was the first time I had heard that ....... I had to shut my door to compose myself ........

I need neither. Show me what needs done and where the tools are, or get out of the way. I'll find both on my own.

If the CEO Of British Petroleum walked into an Amish Woodworker's shop and said:
"I just chopped down the biggest redwood in California and I want YOU to make me the biggest baddest desk the world has ever seen for my Mega-Yacht".

Can the woodworker tell him?:
"No - I don't believe in your modern lifestyle OR your treatment of the environment, so please take your business elsewhere".

He can, but if he will I don't know. I would suspect he would decline. The CEO is used to using leverage that doesn't gain any purchase on an Amish guy. One of the two would have to fundamentally veer from their past behaviors and priorities to get the deal done.

Yes, we all know what a goody-goody you are

-Imagine a young, bright and opinionated programmer. Wearing dreadlocks and a smelly t-shirt that says "1337 h4x0r".
His boss says "I'm gonna have to pull you off that leading-edge project with the 3D app, we need you to go fix bugs in someone else's crap code on that system I know you think is solid junk. For about a year or so. Okay?"
That leader will need all the tricks in the book, and some genuine people skills, to get good performance out of the programmer.

And to get him to clean himself up.

dealership said it would take 2 hours to install a new dashboard just to fix the lifting in the center on top of the air vents...guess i'll try to persuade my sales rep to let me "test drive" the used Boss 302 they have parked outside to help time go by faster
