    Just because he smiles and hugs you when you walk through the door doesn't make him your friend. He's just pleased to be able to provide for his family.

    Once upon a time, I was told if you can't think of anything nice to say don't say it.

    Its a shame your very expensive private school didn't teach you the same. No wonder you had to live on the goodwill of others to get work (you admit to using the old boys network)
