Again, just stick to your slide rules and soldering irons. Leave the PR to
the professionals. This is why we don't let you talk much.

Did you even *READ* the associates' handbook? This is SOP. Stop whining.

the bigger-picture concepts and mindshare. We're trying to leverage our
core competencies and create a sustainable marketing model that will

professionals?
