Newly licensed and being a fairly logical and fairly intelligent person, I thought it wouldn't be a terrible idea to comment on something outside … (17 comments)
No matter how long I am in this industry, and no matter how many insults I hear---I still remain apalled when someone has the audacity to make the offer I heard today accompanied by an ignorant statement.
