    @vaxorcist -
    my business partner is a hillbilly - not to be confused with a redneck. he wears shoes, is college educated, well read, and knows how to act at black-tie affairs :-) he's actually working on a book of oral history of the local mountain people before their culture is completely gone.

    we both have the same sort of outlook on work. we're pretty laid back, and a lot of people like working with us for that reason. if it's a nice day, we'll often just not go to the office - but on the other hand, we've never missed a deadline and are not scared to lock ourselves in 'till a project is complete.

    there's uptight people here and back in nz too - we just choose not to work with them.

    • sounds cool... I'd love to see that book!vaxorcist
