You were not the voice of reason. You had one flimsy report, and it drove them crazy that they could not refute it, even though a little searching would have likely found an equally flimsy report that put UA somewhere in the middle on something or other.

Besides, the attachment to that logo is so visceral that facts could not be answered with facts, and by keeping the level of dissonance that high, you could lead the argument almost unchallenged. Smart, yes. Reasoned, no.


When you have the law on your side, argue the law.
When you have the facts on your side, argue the facts.
When you have neither, argue both.
If you're not a trial attorney, you probably should be.

It's a contract based consulting job here in NJ, but they're fine with me working remotely in Houston. Anything is better than nothing!

Great news. Congrats, sdm1130!

Good to know, it is not as if I put any work into finding that study in the first place.

Not a trial lawyer, alas.


CONGRATS sdm1130!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You get the job and the job follows you as you move. Sounds far, far, better than nothing. Congratulations.

Very nice - contract-based and working remotely but any potential for travel?

There was a report of a bear wandering the village that sounds like a Yak a couple years ago when we lived there. Teh Canuck decided to go out and try and find it. She carried a sausage.

Yes. We were drunk. Why do you ask?

Hmmm... sounds like some interesting bait. Glad you keep some in hand;) in case of a Yak-attack;)
