Hmmm, trying to increase your company's sales?

Is there such a thing as a "typical" Vette owner? I reckon you'll find they are anything but typical I'm in crisis management, it's a day to day thing!

I am probably not typical, but I commute back and forth to Africa. I work 28 days, then go home for 28 days. I work for a large company that provides specialized services to oil companies exploring for petroleum and natural gas. I am in charge of my department's quality management system and personnel development.

Now don’t go “hating on me.” I don’t get any of the $100 a bbl that oil is selling for.
