All those loser kneebiter jocks in high school who played varsity and got all the girls and sported their big, winning, shark-white smiles as they barely jee-parlor-fran-saysed their way through the classes you coasted through: where are they now?" I'm a programmer, actually. edit: I was recruited by Miami, Alabama, Wake Forest, and a couple others, and had the potential to be one of the top tight ends in the state of Florida. Too bad I couldn't deal with the people.

I'm great with people. I just have little patience for poor management, and that's exactly what it was.
