The blog clearly illustrated both the childhood lesson learned that hard work often goes unrespected and unrewarded and also the overkill of others dealing with mistakes and even NOT mistakes it outrageous. My reply to Vicki's presumption that you had a good reason for throwing the extinguisher as having perhaps "a" reason was meant to differentiate on whether the reason was good "enough" to make throwing the fire extinguisher a correct move, which, I assume you would agree that it was not, but understandable having been brought on by justifiable outrage. In other words, "a" reason vs a "good" reason vs eve a good "enough" reason are all levels of whether a act is the correct action even though all are understandable. Your coupling of both points in this blog is especially appropriate as to the other it's similar to the knowledge that good work is more than often unrewarded does not necessarily translate into the conclustion that one should cease to doing good work. On the contrary, one can, and should, know that most hard work is unappreciated and oft stolen, and still work hard anyway, which I'm sure you agree. Either way, my own brief comment did not begin to convey the respect I have for Part 119 in general and your extremely well though insights in particular.

There were actually two ideas to be made and merged into one. The overkill by others in dealing with my mistakes and the lesson learned as a kid, that work done would not necessarily be respected by compensation, which continued on into adulthood. I apologize for my sloppy work and will try and be more clear. I am guessing but Jeff's comment may reflect my lack of clarity, I am guessing of course. The number of transitions from one series of events to the next is difficult sometimes, as I try to proceed from where I have been to where I am attempting to get to.Bobby Jamesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01527521612297449370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026171904413475346.post-3139772533491219182009-02-09T18:05:00.000-08:002009-02-09T18:05:00.000-08:00The real lesson from this sequence seems to be tha...The real lesson from this sequence seems to be that hypocrites tend to abuse their power when they get it, and that they will take advantage of anyone who is under their power. Being at the mercy of such cowardly and dishonest people is extremely untenable. You have pinpointed the fact that this approach—getting honest work out of a person and then reneging on a promise—is a paradigm for much of the entertainment business.Tim McMullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840770464754311701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026171904413475346.post-51398053794996585482009-02-08T23:21:00.000-08:002009-02-08T23:21:00.000-08:00Well, a reason maybe.
