Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Retirement

[Doug & Terri (dnt]

Erik brings up a good point –  “I do [have advanced degrees], so does my boss.”

 

”So does my boss” is a VERY important nuance.  I, like many of you, have had various life experiences earning a living.  Since I am not a gold prospector working only with my mule I had to work with, and for, many folks – many without degrees or degrees not related to our current mission.  My degrees, AND my somewhat advanced military life, in my last life, became a hindrance.  A few of my “bosses” were covertly and in some cases (‘so – just ‘cause you have - - - doesn’t make you right - - -‘) overtly outrageous.  Mostly my fault because of my naiveté.  And then drive a Porsche or Gawd forbid, a Ferrari to work - - - - oy vey ist mir.

 

As my old pal Waclaw (Vots-lahv – he’s Polish) warned me – “Dah-Glas, never tell your boss in mixed company a joke he won’t get.”  I’m not so sure I ever really learned that.  Heh heh
