You have my deepest sympathies.

Some years back, my department was afflicted with a manager who thought he could and should "fix the inefficiencies" in other people's code. The responsibility for dealing with problems he created invariably wound up on those hapless "other people's" desks...mine included. The ill will he generated that way was thick enough to be carved into entrée portions and served with hollandaise sauce.

Needless to say, the manager was never taken to task by his superiors for his arrogant interference in things he knew next to nothing about. However, the problem went away when he met an untimely demise: run over by an SUV, right in our very own parking lot. And they say there's no justice in this world!

(This message is programming you in ways you cannot detect. Be afraid.)
