    augustwestburg... we are a big family, usually means a disfunctional family, that only the senior people reap the true benefits of the profits. the underlings are expected to be loyal, but when its time for budget cuts, it is not meritocracy

    discostud1515. I interviewed to be a lecturer for a university. They sought me out and wined and dined me for a couple days and did a few presentations on the university. The presentations were on a TV hooked up to a VHS. This was in 2014.
