There is one other thing that someone like me that is so different than the typical lot will see and not be a part of. There is a system of class distinction that is relative to the Capital Education system that most, that are inside do not even notice as it is happening. They just quietly fall into the slot that is prepared for them by the position they are in relative to their education and there position in there job and also the size of their bank account. When I run into this situation I have no slot to fall into, so I don’t fall worth a dam. I have learned ways to deal with these situations. They do not always make me very popular with those that expect me to fall into some slot that they have prepared. I am not beyond pulling out a hundred dollar bill and laying on the table and saying, “This says I am right, put up, or shut up.” I have done this to the QA manager of an aero space company while I was assistant to the test director. My test director almost fainted. They could not fire me because they did not want to let it be known that I was right and he was wrong. It was a situation that would have jeopardized the program. Just after this The QA rep for the other company insisted that I remain on the job. From that point on I did not get to see too many bosses.
I also was offered a job by this company.
I did not take the job, I stayed were I was and finished the job I started.
