Yep. I understand what you mean. Ive often wondered if there is any job out there like that, but I have not been able to think of one :-(
I certainly understand the "know what you need to do" wish! One often spends more time working out what to do than one does doing it... <sigh/> master: We need some enhancements to the product. When can you have it ready by? slave: If you tell me what you need I can give you an estimate. master: We havent decided yet, but I need an estimate now. slave: Okay.... ummm hows "two weeks" sound. master: Too long. Sales promised it would be ready today. slave: So , uhh, I guess it could be ready by end of today? master: I need it by lunchtime. slave: So exactly what is it you need by lunchtime? master: Why dont you just do it and Ill tell you if you got it right afterwards - but make sure you dont get it wrong. This is vital to us getting the bigCo account.

Its no walk in the park, Well, I certainly didn't mean to imply that it would be and of course I really wasn't serious about wanting to be a farmer (I'm way too lazy for that job:). I just meant it from the standpoint that sometimes I'm envious of those positions where you "know what you need to do and you just do it and if you do it well you can be successful." - idealistic I know especially in today's complex world. I was thinking more back to the days when maybe one was a quality cobbler or a quality blacksmith and you did your job well and you managed to get by ok. I assume back then they had their problems as well I'm sure. It just appears life was simpler - not necessarily easier by any means- just simpler. Of course everything is relative, and to the people back then life probably seemed anything but 'simple.' -- Rick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
