And, knowing you as I do, I don't doubt that for a minute. It's usually not that hard to size up a provider's competence and potential. And -- although there are exceptions and misjudgements -- you're generally going to be treated according to that size-up. Now, just think of your initial impression of others at this forum, and think of how comfortable you might or might not be with them on a scene.
There are basic providers out there who I look forward to seeing on my scenes, and give them all the respect and appreciation they deserve. But there are others out there who are not only worthless, but they carry a chip on their shoulder about it, making even their personality unbearable. They reap what they sow, but they'll whine like victims for their entire career.
It's pretty easy to tell who is who in this discussion.[/quote]
Actually, for accuracy's sake, MFRs are at the bottom of the totem pole.
