I have to say our feathers take on a similarity of color, though the flocking is non existent, probably only a distance factor. I've had many similar situations which I attribute to, especially with women entering the higher echelons of the work force, a need to justify and substantiate the position by exerting some form of muscle beyond the shoulder padding found in much of the corporate female dress. I've always maintained a significant lead in life so that I could walk away fairly unscathed from any situation, mainly due to the recognition that those in the position to quash usually resort to intimidation relating to their idea that you need to suck up and take the piss out of desperation, which is usually their position. I wish I had a camera for every face that could not believe I was walking out the door instead of kissing buttocks, not that some of them weren't worth a kiss or two. The poor dedicated souls as you say just can't imagine that there is a huge world out there with a myriad of opportunity. The only reason I'm here doing what I do is because I was in the right place at the right time and not sitting in some cubicle like a component in the circuit board of corporate functionality. For me the most precious commodity in life is freedom and I'd have no qualms of dying penniless in the knowledge that I've lived in freedom.
