Tru,
I tried very hard to never get angry at anyone when I was working because they had to hire so many people that knew nothing do to the equal rights movement. But that time and one other I did kind of lose it. The other time was after I had spent 3 days on the phone with an office back East telling them word for word and comma by comma what command to type in to get the machine to do what they wanted. We ran Unix in those machines and it was very case sensitive and some of the commands were long and included colons, commas, ball bats, & etc, and any one thing not perfect and the machine would just reject it as an invalid command. I ever typed it out and sent it to them, as I had no way to access that particular machine from where I was at. Anyway same story. Flew half way across the country, spend 30 seconds, ( I type slow ), typing the command in and everything worked. After that I went in and called their district manager and had a talk with him and two days later, over the objections of the Union, one of those people was fired. The only time I ever did anything like that and I wasn't proud of it, but I had all of the records of where I had told him what to do and he still had the sheet I had typed the command on and sent to him.
