Don't make any Pearl Harbor jokes.
Mecos King must have heard how bad I was in getting along with the faculty when I taught in college. I have done many of these things he mentions.. As a drunk man, I once went to a meeting with shoes that did not match.
I had tenure and was always daring them to fire me. I put in a Freedom of Information Act request for all the booze and food records of the Administrators at an expensive private club. They routinely spent $50 to $70 for a bottle of wine.I gave these to the newspaper and they printed a big front page expose story. I was popular with the students and hated by my colleagues and proud of it.
I taught people how to get along but I didn't play the game well. I knew the game and played well for years. The game is more important to your success than your actual job performance. it is all about the group. The fucking group.
