I heard that I was one by association. I'm not sure exactly how that works.

I've been called worse,
and probably deserved it.

I believe Guy Kawasaki was the guy who said one of my favorite quotes:

To say that Windows 95 is just like a Macintosh is like finding a potato in the shape of Jesus Christ and saying that you've witnessed the second coming.

(This was the pre-ebay days; we all know what would happen with a potato in the shape of Jesus these days.)

I think it's interesting, too. I wish there had been an entry about dealing with fellow employees who fit the bill, as well as bosses. I work in a VERY small office, less than a dozen employees, and one of them definitely is an, um, A.hole.

What about the "How to Deal With ---holes" section? or were you looking for something else?

Very interesting read. It looks as though I am well along the way toward becoming an ass hole.

An old draftsman ( when we did drawings with pencil and real paper) said
"there are B-holes and C-holes, but always, Holes-A"

Kinda of a nerdy engineering joke, but on drawings with tabulated hole tables, you'd start with A and go through Z, but in conversation, they would be B-holes and C-Holes and Holes -A

On the same subject was this thesis published by Professor Denis Leary:
Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces,
While handicapped people make handicapped faces.
I'm an a**hole (He's an a**hole, what an a**hole)
I'm an a**hole
