Wow. Very nurturing and supportive work environment, at least as far as this guy goes.
I cannot think of anything (short of breathing, eating, you know, staying alive) than my son (or your daughter). I have a plan. Tell me where the SOB parks, I will kneecap him. No questions asked. Baseball bat, footsteps, get's near car. BAM!!! Also, I am management (sorry). So, it stands to reason, I can say, "Vinny, go ahead and take a week..., no make that a month, off, all expenses. No, no, I know what you are going to say Vinny. No, don't EVEN worry about checking email, the servers, whatever. I know, I know, we'll take care of it, you're worth it. And here is that $10K bonus we talked about. Go buy a pony (or horse) for your daughter. After all, her happiness is the most important thing in the world to all of us." -Gary > -----Original Message----- > From: Vinny DiDonato [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 8:28 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Grrrr...
