Well I did laugh out loud at that one!! What a mental image I have of that right now!
Well that just sucks the big one CP! As most likely everyone here has some stories of corporate ignorance, so do I, and I bet they have a lot of similarities. I work for a family owned company, however, I'm but one of several thousand employees working for one of their hundreds of companies. Just another number.
Sounds like your chin is already up mate, keep it there. Best to you and Mrs. CP.
