To which I reply,
Guess I've been 'lucky' ... managed to get away (after a few years) from

Andrew continues,

>I work for myself because I refuse to work for morons. I'd rather work 90
hours a week for myself than 10 for somebody so stupid, they should be
ground up into hot dogs. And unfortunately, most large organizations reward
and encourage mediocrity and obedience.<

As would I. But if you're working 90 hours/week, I'd say that you have a

standards, expectations?
