        Man up and move on.

          Most contractors know how good they are after a few years experience. I am confident in my abilities. Sadly there are any number of reasons in contracting land you can get released unrelated to performance.

              I've figured it out. All makes sense.
              At a university...
              Showered that day...
              Wearing deodorant...

              Clearly a strangely clean smell that the plaintiff wasn't used to among 5000 unwashed undergraduates.

                    Is that like when people declare themselves to be "Crazy" and "Wacky"?
                    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

                      More like girls on lonely hearts columns:
                      Athletic - no tits
                      Big personality - appetite to match
