That's because you would have been too afraid to go. Understand one thing. The work experiences and the hardships that go along with being part of an upstart operation are far different that the ones you've known being part of a company that was firmly established before you were even born.If I were reduced to working for you, going out in the sticks after dark would be the least of my problems.
You did work that no one else wanted. Congratulations.
You have an endless supply of stories where you zing all the big shots. There's no telling how many calls you missed from Pittsburgh while you were out in the boonies with no cell service. They needed ya, bacha!
