Sounds like the problems I face on a day to day basis... What I try to do is first of all figure out what is required of me. Then, very carefully inject what I need to do somewhere that looks appropriate. The key is to move things around but keep what is does and when it does it.

It's increasingly the same in all technical professions - those with technical skills are being paid less and less in real terms, whilst the bosses earn more and more. Those that get paid the most are the ones who control the flow of money (bankers, accountants, actuaries, CEOs, etc.) and not those with the real hard-to-acquire skills who do the most demanding and important work (such as teachers, scientists, academics, nurses, computer programmers, etc.). That's Western capitalism! Don't worry, this trend will only continue until it totally wrecks the economy and then everyone will be equally stuffed.

That's the spirit. :-D Please send all responses on my email: thisismyrealaddress@gmail.com Tnx in avandce, Raja M. "When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

Thanks everyone, I feel much better knowing I'm not abnormal. I guess I can call myself a programmer now. It's hard being stuck out all alone in an obscure corner of the world, not really knowing what direction I should take, but thanks to this site, and the wonderful people who make it what it is, I feel as if I'm making progress. Thank you all!:rose:
