HANSEL TILLMAN: TILTING AT WINDMILLS
So why didn't we hire Hansel Tillman? Clearly, from his portfolio and obvious skills in the shop, he's qualified. No doubt we'd have learned more from him than he would have from us. But seriously, the dude is hell bent on slaying imaginary foes. Republicans, immigrants, Mormons, lawyers, building inspectors—they're all out to get him and take what's rightfully his. You too, probably. We certainly felt that way after negotiating terms for his employment. He was so convinced that we were out to swindle him—out of what, we were never sure—that we were convinced he was out to swindle us. The fool who is tirelessly preparing for an imagined onslaught is the fool who'll shiv you when your back is turned, no doubt. Anyway, no hard feelings at the end of the day. A perfect companion for a pint at the pub, a hale fellow on the jobsight, a nightmare employee. Classic Tillman.
