Easy. That is exactly how my Silent father behaved on the job.
1. Brown nose the higher ups.
2. Befriend people he could use to get ahead.
3. Found pretty much every loophole. Hey, he got a masters in mathematics. Smart lab mice can also find their way through mazes...
4. If he didn't get his way, he complained very loudly, especially at home. That's why I remember it so well.
5. Hmmm... "It's better to get things done fast and utilize as many resources and methods as possible..." Definitely channeling my dad on that one.
6. Silents are very bad about this "keep up with the Jones thing" .
So you're a Homelander. Artists generations are silent on the outside but deadly on the inside.
I actually instantly pictured silent when reading Disaster's description. Glad you picked up on it too.
How old are you Disaster? If you're an Artist than you must be younger than 12 or older than 73. I thought you were a last-wave Xer.
