As far as I can tell, `professional' in modern manager-speak is code for
`don't rock the boat, remove everything that gives you any individuality
or personality, obey orders'. Basically `become an interchangeable
component so we can fire you more easily'.

(I periodically get told by various uberbosses that I'm `not
professional'. They get all confused when I say that no, I'm not, not by
their definition: I'm an amateur, and that's a *good* thing.)
