Thanks, Mark. That was worth reading. I will copy/paste it to my manager, and he will do not a damn thing. I also just want to get the work done well (even if the bike is ugly or boring or a piece of shit- which is NOT the case with several of our "mechanics". It is somebody's bike, and they need it to work as best it possibly can...) and I don't want to yap about your race or your shiny parts dreams, etc.
