Dude you're completely right about the island of broken toys. I work in a specialized position in my own field where troubleshooting and problem solving is 98% of the job, and you have to be one of the best techs in the industry to do it. All the people I know who are good enough to do it always have a little crazy in them.

My theory is that normal people don't get obsessed with stuff usually, they have a balanced personality. They want to do their job good enough to get paid and not get fired, maybe get a promotion, but they aren't obsessed. To get and stay at the top, you need one of those obsessive personalities to just become consumed with whatever you're doing.

Also, those same people can never make it into corporate management I've noticed. The only way they ever do really well is having their own business, like you.

We called them ramp-tramps at my old airport.

Wish you guys could have done the Cleveland airshow instead of the Blues. 2012 was the last ever, due to declining attendance and two straight years of having at least one day rained out. I was the assistant to the airshow president.
