It's time for you to get a bigger: and a better: grip on the forces around you. There is no need for you to do what you are told when you don't like what you are being told to do. In short, fight back. Not only will the powers that be respect what you have to say, but they will gain a new appreciation for just what a tough customer you can be! Flexing your muscles feels good, and if you don't do it from time to time, your strength will atrophy.
