Re: Another question I've had for years...

Most definitely.  For most of the companies that I have worked for, I 
have dealt with people who displayed the utmost professionalism, save 
one.  And I have been told that this was because all of the 
entertainment industry is this way.

I'm talking about engineers who have heart attacks every six months, 
and then take out their anger and fear by throwing objects in a lab, 
let alone act indignant when asked for information.

DBAs who spend more time chasing skirts, than attending meetings.  This 
guy's calendar had blocks of time flagged as 'unavailable', and the 
joke around the water cooler was that you had to work around his 
'rendezvous' schedule.  Ask him to talk with you as he was primping for 
'date'?  You're pressuring him.

Network engineers who show up to work high as a kite or a bit toasted.

Yeah, that made getting information from SMEs a little challenging.
