I as a man have never had anything handed to me.

It was all my own hard work. Over a long period of time. Developing a reputation and maintaining it over time. I’ve been at jobs where people would call me a try hard. Work smart not hard. I never agreed with either of those statements. I try hard (at work) because I want to be good enough that I am indispensible, and work smart not hard is lazy and half assed. That same place, run by a woman I might add, one who literally drove me out, drove me right out of there, and within one year had to give up the contract she held for this job. People say it’s one thing, she did it because of this, that. No. I carried that position in my back, reliably for years, it was hard, it was challenging, it was stressful, you pushed me out, probably partly because your lazy daughter who ended up a manager hiring people who were not good for the place, and I did not like each other, and when I left your including find anything me who could do it better, more reliably, consistently. So she had to give it up because it was too much of a headache to find anyone who was as good as I was.

But that’s just problem. I have no there places where I left an impression because that’s what I do. I went back there, was welcome back immediately with open arms and I am doing better than ever
