I've worked for a few companies in my time and most management have never got it. Even after some of them have read Peopleware and Debugging the Development Process (bought for them by me), they still don't get it. Does being a senior manager blind you from the obvious. It certainly looks that way to me. Michael Programming is great. First they pay you to introduce bugs into software. Then they pay you to remove them again.

I have been known from time to time to keep a copy of "How To Work For A Jerk" on my office bookshelf, but the bosses never noticed it. Even "sharing" particularly relevant clips from "Dilbert" cartoons with them left them laughing uproariously, but still clueless. [sigh.....]

I don't work there, but I know people who do. For those who don't know, Paychex is a payroll and accounting company based in Rochester, New York USA. It's run by an ego-maniac named Tom Galisano who has lost bids for Governor. Anyway, here are some of the rules that I've heard from this jail: - Women cannot wear slacks... skirts and dresses only. - Men must wear white shirts. - Blinds must be adjusted so they slant at same angle and must always be fully closed (no bare glass). - No personal pictures or other articles. - If you wear boots to work in the winter, you must change into dress shoes and place boots in desk drawer. I could not imagine working for a company like that. How do you respect a business that has wastes so much energy coming up with and enforcing this crap? -John "You don't love a woman because she is beautiful.

The question is, what sort of a person decides their calling in life is to be knee deep in poo ? Plus a friend had a bad plumber experience, plumber is now our SI unit for moron. Christian Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle.

Does this mean you have to code in a veil? or is "casual nudity excluded"? ;P
One day I might find it quite amusing how touching tongues make life so confusing Anne Clark again [sighist]

One must ensure both the neck and ankles are fully covered and the face by a gauze. Heaven forbid I should see my secretaries ankle! I will be overcome by lust and commit adultery or something! Alla akbar... or soemthing. :rolleyes:
