We’re not all assholes. I mean I am but I attribute it more to my Anglo/Scots-German heritage than my fierce Viking ancestors who mostly made butter and cheese. Not that them ain’t fightin’ words, ask any Texan I love the UK and would like to stay (please). But you need a few lessons on being …

Nobody Loves You!
I can’t really believe we need to chat about this again but should we meet in public, face to face, I’m under no particular obligation to treat you politely. Shocking, I know. I don’t have to be nice, or respect your point of view and life experience. In fact my legal limitations are not to …

The contents of his office will be screened for company property (staples, paper clips, Post-Its, pens), boxed, and shipped. Passwords have been canceled.
