Well, my "paycheck" crack didn't seem to satisfy the mark. I know it's a tough job. Old readers will note my previous, and current, affiliation with commercial salmon fishing. Nowadays it is for "relaxation". That smallish break in the summer has had its moments, and I'm grateful for the escape into "extreme nature" from year to year.
I see too much stress in this newsgroup. People can be harsh when pushing hard over a long haul. Like fishing, we are brothers (sisters, too) of a common misery. Also like fishing, I have seen friends die from their high-tech jobs. Maybe not as violent an end, but nonetheless, the end. Lots of folks want to enter the high tech field. Sometimes, though, the wanting is considerably different than the having. I used to think that, with enough work and dedication, anyone could excel in this field. I don't think that, anymore. The learning never stops. Know what you've signed up for. If you think it's hard now, wait 'til you look back at 20 years and wonder where all that time went! We're all in this together. So let's keep our sticks on the ice and pull for each other. Very best, G.
