The hilarious part is Greg repeatedly regurgitating his
disdain for
advertising. As to whether you kissed political ass, well,
if you
were a government contractor, you surely did, even if you were
unaware of it or refuse to acknowledge it.

You certainly know how to stretch a lie.


Are you saying that Greg hasn't repeatedly regurgitated his
disdain for
advertising, or that there was no ass-kissing involved in your
obtaining
government contracts?


I wasn't high enough in the food chain to do any ass kissing.

He doesn't understand how RFPs work... or even businesses for
that matter.

We've had government contracts. In every case, the only contact
we had with *anyone* until after it was awarded was to send
multiple copies of our proposal to a specific address. You
either requested, in writing, the RFP or downloaded it from a site.

I think he's confusing government contract with *union*
contracts.



Perhaps there is less of it in the boondocks, but there was
plenty of it taking place when the ad agency I worked for handled
military recruiting promotion...Plenty of ass-kissing, lunches,
receptions, and to a much lesser degree when I was writing and
producing videos for several federal agencies.

I suppose if you are a "me too" company with nothing to
differentiate yourself from your competition some elbow bending,
ass-kissing and smoodging is required.


Smoodging? Yeah, that must be it.


It's a word. Look it up.




Sorry, I didn't find "smoodging" in my dictionary. Do you mean
"schmoozing," perhaps?

Perhaps your dictionary is out of date.

Not a word I've ever heard...you must have had a lot of experience
smoodging.


Gee. Harry learned a new word today from a lowly engineer of all people.

Especially from a lowly engineer with a Navy education.
