Re:

and in keeping with the conversation from yesterday , thos= who put you in your job are supposed to get loyalty in return?.=A0 loyalty often comes with a beating

At the very least, you are not supposed to trash the person =ho put you in your job. Loyalty is the expectation, but not stabbing=in the back is the bare minimum.

That was good advice. Here, friend doesn't=really describe the relationship. I think that is another reason why=BB is not thrilled with the idea.

One of my colleagues described the relationship =his way: like a race car driver to a fan belt. The fan belt is=critical to the race car driver's needs and he can't exist as a rate car driver without it. But, eventually, every fan belt gets worn o=t and breaks, and the driver throws it out, replaces it with a new fan bel=, and gets back in the car.

Cold---=our "colleagues " ignore the fact most fan belts are indistingui=hable from one another - not appropriate in this case

That is part of his point -- that w=th Presidents, we are fungible.

I think you should have a face to face first

I think it will be res=lved one way or the other by the end of the week. If I choose option=2, then I have to go into formal vet and that generally takes 30 day=.

Can we spe=k around 2?

Yes. I did not make it to NYC last night (br=ken plane) and therefore abandoned the Maine weekend.

shame, . numnber? unfortunatley I have the so=ution
