Wow, Thanks for the welcoming!!
I'm just reading my new thread. Been at the lake all weekend winterizing the lake house and boat and watching the Cowboys finally win two in a row. I could never say such things when I was staff!! Not only would it be impossible when working 360 days a year, but it would be pts-to-the-middle-class sacrilege! It's novel that I can sit on the deck and watch the sunset drinking a Shiner and not have to feel completely guilty and wonder what I will say on that next w/h question.
I know I owe everybody a good story and the more I think about the more I realize all of the BS I have put up with for a decade and a half on staff. Obviously, I have lots of stuff to say and will try to keep from ranting too much.
Perhaps I'll leave some tidbits. I was there for the "IRS victory." I was there for the GAT implemetation. I was there for "arbitraries removed." I was there for some big-ass refunds. I was there for 7 seats as Comm Ev Chair. I was there for my own Comm Ev by the SNR C/S EUS, who, but the way, is now declared SP. I was there for my full completion of the Comm Ev Recs through IJC. I was there for XDN training at St. Hill. I was there for CCRD training. I was there for the Grades being delivered too quickly in 2008. I was there for the Grades being delivered too long in 2009/2010. I was there for the over-regging carrot-chasing Idle Org. I was there for the chase by HCO from Ohio to Texas to Minnesota - my neighbors and relatives still ask about those odd people trying to "talk" to me.
Ok, there's the general outline already. If the football game is boring tonight, I'll start on Chapter One!

Whoa... I think we might have another good book in potential. Chapter One, please!




But this is purely nuts!! 
Mike--hope to hear more of your stories.




Way to go Mike! It's always wonderful when someone breaks free from a controlling person or group.
