29. I have worked for managers just of college that knew more than I did about the phone

business after being in it most of my life one way or the other. The last few years I took care of internal networking at the home office of a large phone company. This was data, special circuits, lan and phones. I had one lady dressing me up and down about something, how I never could do anything right, how the service was lousy etc. We got in the elevator and then the CEO came running in from his noon run. He grabbed me and asked when I was going running with him and how things were going.

The lady had that deer in the headlights look like I have never seen before.
