Mr Stanley
If I were your boss I would never let you in my
home again. Do you think it was appropriate
to let everyone know that he has a private plane,
a couple of Benzes , and a Ferrari .I would be
furious. After reading this post and looking at
some of your recent posts I have to question
your "Advanced Member" status.

Zinon, I see your point, and thought about that right after I hit clicked "post"! (insert a loud Homer Simpson DOHHHH~!~!).
His home is open to the public (by appointment) and is featured in magazine articles, and is regualrly pictured in our magazine "display" ads, so if he were sensitive about that stuff, believe me, I'd know!
But, you don't know me, I haven't mentioned any names,
personal or company. There are only a couple guys here who know he and I, so I still consider it an anonymous situation.
I also think I should hit the sack at 2:00 a.m. instead of posting at that time - insomnia has it's drawbacks.
I don't know why he would be furious, but I'm sure I'm probably overlooking something,(as usual)!
He is actually pretty proud of his new plane, and worked his ass off with another business to be able to aquire stuff like this, and certainly hasn't been shy about letting his office staff, friends and many many numerous others know about it.
But, he doesn't flaunt his stuff, like some guys, and I respect that --- again that's what prompted me to write about the new car because It was such a shocker to have bumped into it, yet he never mentioned it.
He deserves those things, as he has worked hard & smart... I say more power to him.
I used to work with a guy in retail, who bought a Porsche, and he let every human being he ever came across - know about it! Talk about a bore!
It first struck me kind of funny though when I discovered the Ferarri, as to how it contrasts his situation to mine. I wasn't criticizing or making any judgements either, but yeah it's probably a boundary issue that I've violated...
I might just edit the post in the morning, although I know he wouldn't give a sh#t either way. If I thought that would be the case I wouldn't have discussed it here -- but again, I don't mention the business name or his name, so I don't think I'm doing any harm.
He lives in a small suburban town anyway, and everybody is pretty aware of his holdings...
Zinon, Thanks for keeping me in line, I guess I gotta keep my big trap shut.
P.S.
He didn't come by those things via our line of work.
