i'd just like to qualify something though. The employees of the SOE office with the exception of the hand-picked ones seem to be a stellar lot. That was a surprise. I think some were just nice to me because I was obviously an obama voter. Because I've called them on the phone in the past and whooo, not so much phone charm. AT ALL.
Buddy gave me a very nice smile. Contrary to popular belief he IS there and seems accessible.
