There are a lot more of em. Michael, Having worked with, around, and as both at one time or another I prefer neither. I'm into ZERO tolerance in my old age. Once had a head foreman who walked over to adjust his radio and fell through a hole in the concrete floor that was so small if he had farted blueberries he would have got stuck. Broke both his legs and I got promoted. The crew was not so happy 'cause I stopped the morning, mid-morning, lunch, brunch, wrap-up smoke-ins and reported them in writing to the owner who was eventually himself busted for dealing coke and had to sell off a few race horses. I never quite got over that. As to the 3-beer... try being the skinny book reading project manager and stealing the 6-pack out of the Italian subcontractor bricklayer foreman's personal jeep and not getting the b'geezes kicked out of ya. That was fun. ][<en
