Ahhhhhh, there's the rub... I'm an independent consultant/contractor/hired
gun and I never get 'senior'... and my current Tech Lead's position seems
to be, quite often, 'Please, Sir, may I have another?'
He can, at times, get upset and say 'You have to be careful about talking
to people that way', to which my response is 'What 'way'... you mean 'Know
what you want and do your job' is 'that way'?'

Hey, it beats working on the loading-dock... and is still the most fun
I've had making a buck, yet.

I soak them in a mixture of water, Huy Fong Fat Chili
(http://www.huyfong.com/frames/index.htm)
and Koon Chun Hoisin
(http://www.koonchun.com.hk/product_hoisin.html)
sauces before sauteeing
them over a low flame with a few razor-thin slices of garlic... sorry,
couldn't resist.
I use an Olde-Fashionede Unix shell account (it used to be dial-up but
with modern technology I telnet into it) upon which I run trn; it is
configured so that when I press 'F' to reply my editor is pico.
