Mensan seeks work

[Dr. Ghastly]

I'm with you there. What I don't understand is how some people who consider
themselves highly intelligent (yes I'm talking about someone specific, but
at the same time some others I've known int he past) don't understand that
attitude is a LARGE part of getting and keeping a job. To quote myself  "You
can be the worlds greatest programmer, have an IQ of 400, be a member of
Mensa, but if you act like an ass, NO ONE will hire you."
