At some seniority ranges this is 100% true, not so much for others. My whole career has been one great big mismanagement caused boondoggle after another. It's like having your career managed by a hyperactive over sugared 6 year old.

I was at a graduation party this weekend. There was a young mom attending. She got into her drinking pretty hard and her 4 year old was left to run wild. My wife and I spent the whole party protecting the little terror from drowning himself in the pool. The scenario kind of reminded of UAL management. Jeffy is the drunk mother and the misbehaved 4 year old are his minions running about disrupting peoples lives.

There is no more disillusionment for me. I always count on the fact that any light at the end of the tunnel is positively an out of control, runaway train. Sometimes it is very difficult to keep a positive attitude at this place.

But thanks for your concern anyway Howy.......
