In summary -
If you take a job and the client mandates a tool - you should shut your trap,
smile and do the job professionally, accurately, and as expediently as
possible.
If you purposely sabotage a job because you don't like the tool the client
mandated - you are scum and you should not be a consultant.
If you sold a client skills you do not possess - then you had better acquire
those skills very quickly.
If you bitch about what the client does - that's cool - but bitching about
your clients in public is not a very bright thing to do if you want more
clients.
If you bitch at people for bitching about their clients - you probably need
some more hobbies.
If you have a tingling sensation in your arm, legs, or brain stem - do not
operate heavy machinery.
Thank you. Have a nice day.

Condensation Officer
