  1. And after several months on a new job he was amazed he got, he took over for his boss and is ready to fire SEVERAL of these hard to get top-level Ph.D.'s

    The putzes always expose themselves when people start asking serious questions. This is what he has on his desk, to remind himself of his role each day

    Long last working day of the year, I was planning to take vacation at Hawaii, but the top dog thinks I should spend some time at Dubai.

    Imagine a beautiful attractive young lady standing at the tallest building of the world with golden performance (YTD > 100%) - that's me
