Ha! Speaking of attitude, I worked in the tax section of Arthur Andersen in
Austin many years ago and was told that if I wanted to keep my job I'd
better stop riding a bicycle to work. Not only must I get rid of the bike,
I must have the right kind of car, eat at the right restaurants for lunch,
and be properly dressed at any time I appeared in public. Actually, though,
when I worked in the computer section at the Chicago headquarters things
were more relaxed. The computer people were thought of as naturally
eccentric and weird.
