One thing I learned over nearly 35 years of getting paid as a

Amen, brother!

I am not professional woodworker nor have ever been although have done a lot over the years from rough framing to furniture and have used it as means for enhancing income or as second business (altho that's been a long time ago now) and was "good enough" to at least make that work.

My career was as engineer and I worked with and supervised enough who were (or, more generally wanted to be) good enough to be treated as something special. Unilaterally, we did without or they learned (sometimes in painful ways) to treat their colleagues as they would expect.

I didn't intend to condone boorish behavior in my earlier remarks; I was simply wondering if perhaps the recipients didn't bring some of their misery upon themselves by being somewhat boorish in their own treatment of a (albeit paid) guest?
