This isn’t drink talking. Drink’s ability to talk is limited to the words ‘me’ and ‘drink!’. But it is the drunk person talking. I say fuck modesty. I’ve been modest all my life. But I know who I am and what I am capable of. I’ve been damn good at everything I’ve ever showed an interest in. I would make the perfect boss. In another thread I revealed that I might have been considered for promotion to boss of supervisors. I care about the company. I do the rota. I consider with equal measure the desires of all members of the team when doing the rota. I am pro-active. I value fairness in the extreme (I am probably a marxist) I can act when the good of the company outweighs the value of an individual friendship in the most diplomatic way. I am intelligent. I am free of the tendancies to steal credit, heck I am mentally _incapable_ of claiming credit for the effort and skill of others. If anything I try to dump the credit of my own achievements on others wherever possible. I subscribe to the view that sharing knowledge gained is the absolute guarantee of job security. (other boss types subscribe to the opposite view) ---

**Lobsang** , posting drunk is a really bad idea. Do yourself a favor. Do _us_ a favor. Cool it already. This isn’t a rant, and I won’t move it to MPSIMS with ‘fuck’ in the thread title. Locked. TVeblen Pit mod
