    Self-professed nasty guy battles WCB over his retraining - By Pete McMartin, Vancouver Sun
    WorkeSafeBC wanted Terrence Norfolk to retrain as an auto service adviser, working with people. But Norfolk says he tends to be 'nasty towards people.'
    =========
    His e-mail address includes the moniker "trainrek." He has a file folder on his computer entitled "You're An Ass----" for those messages he gets that suggest the same.

    He has no time for tact, he said, or the thousands of small diplomatic niceties that gets one through the day. He can, he said, be "just mean."

    It wasn't always so, he said: his work injuries changed him.
