Frank got outcasted to work down in Georgia for almost a year. Bonnie was the interim manager. I think Sue might have spent a few days running our dept as well (a lot of it is a blur) and then Dave took over the role. He was pretty good at managing, but crap at anything technical. I won't forget the day he asked for my help because Windows wouldn't work and kept giving him errors. Turns out he deleted the SYSTEM32 directory because he was running low on disk space. Luckily for both of us, he got me in time and I was able to run my "undelete" utility on his drive and recover his folder (I think only 3 or 4 files were lost, but easily copied over). The one bonus of working there was just the 100% amount of free reign to do whatever we wanted. I mean, I fully reversed engineered the IPDS protocol without a single piece of documentation. That alone took me a few months, even with taking breaks to screw with all you guys...
