Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure there is no category of employers which is jackass-free as a whole. Sadly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Did you ask your boss if he was a jackass?

I suppose you could inquire about the percentage of jackasses during the interview.

Hmmm. What about the Amish? Are there Amish jackasses?

Pfft. A nice rare steak, perhaps, with a dollop of pâté fois gras covered in bacon? I'm weak right now.

I’m getting weak. I went out to dinner last night, and there was a “bacon wrapped veal and mushroom meatloaf.” I almost didn’t’ bother to look at the rest of the menu.

In my experience with the Amish, I haven't noticed any Amish jackasses. OTOH, my experience amounts to watching the movie "Witness". I guess I could check their website.

I am afraid that direct inquiry will not provide the data I need. I need to devise better tactics.

Are there Amish jackasses?

Dude, totally. Didn't you see Witness?

There was some show on UPN a while back which lead me to believe that yes, there are.

Join a Zen commune?

Hah. I've lived on a commune. No boss (and I have a stone crazy one right now, so I know of what I speak) is as bad as thirty people having to decide everything by consensus.

You think Bureaucrazy gets bad? You have no idea.

There was an Amish jackass in Witness?
