David I have nothing but admiration for you. I once got in trouble in a job because through their negligence I was injured. (Shame on me.) I suffered in that job 5 yrs. HR were real criminal villains. In a different job I once got in trouble for reporting a tower beacon outage to another department in the same company (this is a hazard to airplanes). The company never fixed the beacon while I was there and it probably continues to be a hazard to this day. I suffered in that job 10 yrs, with scalding recommendations from that boss following me on each transfer. During the layoffs this boss got to keep his job. I also had a job where for 8 hrs a day I transcribed psychologist reports on severe child abuse, so I understand the importance of counselling the employees.

My light at the end of the tunnel was the job I got and have now. For once I have no complaints. If I say an engineering design might blow up the downtown area they listen and change the design.

Is the flu that you had from flying pigs? I hope you feel all better now.
