I aplogise for my sarcastic joke. There may have been a tiny touch of a clash. Without my mania and idiosyncrasies of course. Just the more reserved manner. You were very clever and intuitive. I was pain in a#$. Neck is too kind. I was a nightmare employee.

You confided that you went through a dark spate of drinking bottle of brandy some days. Sorry if you thought I didn't like you. I just had a problem with anyone with authority over me. I could probably trace this back to my upbringing.
Thanks.
