I'm made up my mind that I am no longer going to be approachable with him. I'll nod yes or no and that's it. I've even told my crew that if I talk to him, they have permission to head slap me.  |
I realize that. The question was meant to be an honest inquiry, knowing full well the answer may be "we tried, it couldn't be done."
