..ass kissers? That's how most big bidness job promotions are handed out. They put all the candidates on a stool and have em kiss the ceiling. Then they kick the chair out from under them and whoever can hang by their lips the longest wins.

Big bidness - moi? NAH, I was a nobody in constant competition with the women who were sleeping with the boss, and that's no lie. He did not care about his primary responsibility and that was so very wrong. Our "customers" were very important, and he didn't give one carp. I refused to accept that, which is why I was always in trouble. Good thing he died because if I got near him with my car, he was dead already.
I would get off, too, as I am such a lousy driver.

I like your perspective, however!
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
