It came off that way. 

Perception is projection.

Also I'm not shocked because I know but for others they would probably like to know who makes what. Nothing more.

 

Lots of hot air.

 

You know? Fine.. so tell. Otherwise, move along. No one cares.

I might be way off one this because it's been too many years since being immersed the industry.

 

Do you miss it?

Sometimes I do, other times not so much.

 

I'm not able to install much any more than a single pane I frosted a couple weeks ago at our new home. Like corporate, I found an HOA community wasn't for me and this house has a neighbor's bathroom window straight across from our master bedroom. Window had to be treated, so I did it using my left hand. I was quite impressed since I'm right-handed and developed essential tremors to the point I'm not even safe at squeegeeing.

 

Anyway, corporate is like an HOA; always a hierarchy that is a clic and they rule plantation style. When I first arrived at corporate in '96, it was run like a democratic socialist corporation; they had management levels however, they were to work with the entire workforce as if side-by-side and at times allowing the workforce to input on what they thought was the best direction for any particular project.

 

Management would discuss people's ideas and picked the best to focus on for implementation, if needed. It was all done under an open door policy, whereby you could walk in, tap on the CEO's door frame (or any higher pay grade person for that matter), and ask if he had a moment to spare. Anybody could have lunch with anybody, if you get my drift. It was so cool working those years (like one big family) until Corporate America bought them out time and time again, to the point it exists today.

 

I don't miss corporate America, but I do miss the people I worked with. Thanks for asking.

I think that's a fair assessment.  Health issues suck,  hands down bar none. Sorry you are dealing with stuff. While I have no idea what that's like for you, I know what my own are like and whatnot. Different different, same same as Mr Miyagi would say.
