At one point I was cleaning a health spa for extra money.  I was there a while when they hired a new personal trainer that I had happened to have gone to high school with.  Back in high school he probably considered himself higher on the pecking order than me, and since he was at the bottom here, he thought he could boss me around.  Well no, problem was, I didn’t work for this health spa, but rather an outside contractor.  They were real surprised when their boss yelled at them, because my boss yelled at their boss, for him interfering with my work.  He discovered that his perceived status in high school didn’t matter to me then, nor did he have it now or ever.
