Operators
Pipes comment brought to mind about 30 years ago when I was given my first taste of being in charge and having an exasperating week I sat down and looked at what had transpired and commented "80 percent of the people in this business have serious substance or personality problems" Thirty years later I don't think I would change that comment ( I did change the wording a little bit to keep it nice.)
Not that these people weren't talented or good people at heart just something about this business!

Re: Operators
Nick,
Exactly what are you trying to say here? Not that I care, cause I probably fall in the other 20 %,

Re: Operators

Something tells me you're alot like me. Always calm, nothing upsets you, always in control of the situation.
