So your point is to underwhelm and disappoint those of us who chose not to go this route? This is so gentle and sweet compared to the way the Houston TM Center under Jane Hopson operated and with the way the Course Office used to handle applications to the Course Office. Lovely, you manage to get to a phone, you run up what was then a fantastic phone bill calling at 2:15, 2:30, 2:45, 3:00, 3:15, 4:00 and got "This is the course office. Our office hours are 2 PM to 5 PM Monday through Friday, ..." or the slamming of the Dome doors in your face (which was stopped because my landlady pulled out a piece of paper, wrote up a petition, was beckoned to the Star Chamber at DEVCO, told that this was very disrespectful but hanceforth anyone within slight of the door closer got in).
What a letdown. I had always envisioned something more like the Schutzstaffel might have pledged in their castle. Was the truculence, nastiness and caprice of certain governors and the MUM administration the result of another pledge or just an individual power trip. OTOH, perhaps I'm reading too much into it. I learned last night that FF has no requirements for what constitutes a carpenter, electrician (my places has a floating ground, I'm sure) or even a habitable building until very recently landlords have to have the property inspected, by the very same people who don't know what a grounding rod is. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Richard J.
