So there's hope for me yet - cool! (Of course, this will probably be my
last "hands in the code" assignment, especially if I make E-7. That'll
put me into management at that point.)

Shhhh!!! Don't tell Doc.... :-)

You know he wakes up when someone uses his name... ;)

zzzzZZZZzzzzzz... eh? huh? whuh? sorry, I was just... considering some
weighty matters.

(and if you think horrid things happen when you mention *my* name you
should meet my brood-mate... it's a bit more complicated but the results
are more spectacular, you just have to darken the room's lights, stand in
front of a mirror and say her name three times...)


The other day, we were talking about something new that the customer
wanted. They didn't think we could do it in a month, so I said, "Well,
is there a central, essential piece that we could build, along with an
infrastructure that would support the future requirements?"

One of the developers looked at me and said "Man - you sound like a
project manager!"

Coming up with a different technical solution is not, in my experience,
what most project managers do... some, but not most. If you were allowed
to then which would you rather do... spend time slinging code or spend
time allocating, co-ordinating and motivating personnel and resources?
