This guy was the director of operations at a company that had millions in annual revenue and over 60 employees in its production department. It was all good though, because in reality his actual job was to be the president of the company's brother-in-law.... and he definitely had all the hard-earned qualifications needed to hold that crucial position. ;-)
Quentin,

Haven't spoken to you in a long time. Hope all is well

I understand what you are saying and agree, we are surrounded by stupidity
