You're the only joke here tommy. Meanwhile, everything I posted above 
are real claims of yours that have been repeatedly proven false.

correction - You didn't claim that campagnolo makes special 
pre-stretched shifter cables. You claimed that campagnolo makes special 
_non_ stretch shifter cables...equally as false BTW

OK, I guess it's good that I wasn't hired for QC then. (Besides the fact 
that nothing could be further from the truth)

Or, It's been a successful company since 1936 with no signs of slowing 
down _precisely_ because they understand there's more to the individual 
than just a body in a chair. Just yesterday during a staffing meeting 
our CEO reiterated that people involved in the interviewing process 
should be looking at the candidate holistically, not just on their 
vocational qualifications, and that we should promote our work/life 
balance philosophy (we currently have several openings due to some 
retirements and new product initiatives).

It's a pity you never worked anywhere that took an interest in what 
tommy did outside of the office. Perhaps because they realized you were 
an asshole that wouldn't last long anyway.
