Howard: Good money + a job you love = the same job + good money + a glass of margarita
A job you do because it pays + good money = good money - the job +/- retirement + buckets of margarita A job you do because it pays + old age + enough nest egg = enough money + retirement - the job + your daily dose of fiber drink, any flavor A job you do because it pays + you can't deal with ITSM at 7+ any more = fuzz factor * (your remedy job) + your retirement plan / nightmares + {dilemma: to spend or not to spend on Margarita} A job you do because it pays + collective wall street greed = (plenty of headache) ^ uncertainty + (your remedy job)^(1/100) +/- retirement + as many glasses of water as you want --- On Thu, 7/2/09, Howard Richter <hbr4...@gmail.com> wrote: > From: Howard Richter <hbr4...@gmail.com> > Subject: Re: How do I Change the ARAdmin password Remedy uses Without having > Remedy up > To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG > Date: Thursday, July 2, 2009, 3:16 PM > ** > I thought Doug retired with his millions of dollars he > gets from BMC. > > Howard > > > On Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 3:11 PM, > Warren Baltimore <warrenbaltim...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > ** > Hmmmm..... > > I'm not sure we should trust this Doug Mueller > guy.... > > I mean, really?
