One of the things that tends to frustrate me about job placement ads is that they always seem to want you to be some combination of Einstein's level of technical expertise and Obama's speaking finesse. ;) Forget that Obama isn't an especially technical individual and that Einstein wasn't the most effective communicator. Much less the everpresent knowledge gap between a manager's understanding of the task at hand and the engineer's understanding of the same task, meaning that even if the manager were the world's most renowned orator, it would be impossible for him to communicate effectively about a subject matter in which he's just not well versed. </rant> -- s. isaac dealey :: AutLabs Creating meaningful employment for people with Autism http://www.autlabs.com ph: 817.385.0301 http://onTap.riaforge.org/blog ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
