Really it's my own fault for being sort of an underachiever myself. If I was in management or an engineer, I (hopefully) wouldn't have this problem with dealing with these lower life forms, and if I did, it wouldn't matter since I would clearly outrank them.

Thanks for the words of understanding though. Well, except for the condescending part. But answer me this: when speaking to lower life forms, don't you have to speak down to them to be understood?
