You don't know. I heard before I left Europe in the late 80's from a buddy in the ??? is that agents got paid from any place because they cut a check from cash provided to the owner plus 5%.

It's not a secret anymore. We were just better at it than the old Soviet Union. There are books written about that stuff. Even books in Russian. I would like to know scribbled Arabic and sit around in my underwear and a bathrobe and a coffee cup unshaven and do this job:) It must be a GS-13 job.

I would like to know scribbled Arabic and sit around in my underwear and a bathrobe and a coffee cup unshaven and do this job:) It must be a GS-13 job.

I work from home nearly 100% of the time. While I certainly could get away with the bathrobe, coffee and unshaven behavior, I don't do that. I shave, shower, dress, eat breakfast and put in a 10 to 16 hour day. My supervisor is 3000 miles away. My boss doesn't need to talk to me. He talks to my customers. They say everything that needs to be said. The annual reviews and pay raises let me know I'm doing the right thing.
