Please answer honestly. This comes from a discussion with another GM. No one will know who answers the question which way, i'm locking the detailed results as 'hidden'.

I was being facetious (I don't know what that means either, really). I clicked on "no to argumentative" instead of "Yes to both" by accident.

I took it. Doesn't mean I passed. Any jackass can take it.

That was the implication. Mostly a jackass for taking it in the first place. By the time I get the results, I might be in another industry.

At least you can say you passed it though.
If you pass it.

Well, I passed CT. And the J.D. might actually earn me a bump in title/salary at the consulting gigs I'm looking at, so I won't be paying back loans for the next 20 years for nothing (hopefully).

Z - Irreverent is a word I have had to use too may times - unfortunately when addressing my childrens' behavior; when dealing with employees' (mis)behavior while I was representing management; in school when substitute teaching for an unpopular teacher, etc. It is also a word that has (unfortunately) been used to describe my own behavior once or twice - at least once in print.

Who do you think doens't know the meaning of the word irreverent? or argumentative?
See, this whole thing started when Z said he wasn't impressed by my use of those two 'big words'. I don't consider them big words, he didn't think half the members in the league would know what they both meant.

Camera opens to a shot of dashing Brett Zalaski with midget Bren Dillon.

Camera shifts to oncoming Greyhound bus. Camera slowly pans back to Brett and Bren.

Bren pushes Brett in front of bus.

End Scene.
