Respecting Authority

Just recently I started a new job. Not a great new job. Just a job. I'm doing a huge amount of training on Apple computers. Eight hours a day for three weeks I'll be training on operating systems, user interfaces, etc, etc, etc... In the course of all this training, I find that I have a problem with authority. I am dangerously comfortable with talking back to whomever is giving me directions - especially at five am. I don't really have that natural sensor that tells most people to quit talking or to stop shoving the foot in the mouth. I just blabber on, and on, and on... until I find myself inadvertently insulting my boss.
So, until I am a great author with millions of loyal fans, please feel free to remind me to editorialize myself. It would be a kindness and for my own protection. Really!
