Two thoughts....

1. I choose the wrong career!
2. This explains why I never get accepted for management positions!

This really is enjoyable.

It does remember me of the cantankerouse college professor.  It was a small
college and all his students would be in another class at a certain time.
Outside the class was a plaza with a set of stairs going into another
area/building/class.  After the big test, the professor would climb to the
top of the stairs with all the completed tests under his arms.  He would
turn and face the plaza and throw the test papers up in the air.  The he
would pick up the completed test papers.  At the top stairs, he would state,
"These papers are As", take a few steps down and state, "These papers are
B's".  Eventually, he reached the bottom and declared the papers in the
plaza Fs.  All of his students would watch in horror--since most of the
papers made to the plaza floor.
