It sounds like you are saying you enjoy working the game which is something I can agree with. There have been partners that I absolutely do not enjoy working with. IMO, those are two different things.

Sorry, the important qualifier was "almost." There are exceptions, and I don't say "nice working with you" on those occasions. I'm not into lying.

Then we agree. I get the impression that the OP did not enjoy working with this officials, but said it anyway. Like you, I'm not going to lie.

At the risk of coming across as too critical....

For someone so young he can't find the enter key while he's typing or make a decent sentence structure, I'm guessing mid-30s would also qualify as "older." Or maybe it's just old.
