I always smile at the term "reasonable overtime" in a contract. You'd think people who spend their time issuing completely unambiguous instructions would know better.... Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it.

Then you are not guilty. This guy did it with all the bad intentions! hahaha My new toy: www.cloudclipx.com -- If I have 8 hours to chop down a tree, I spend 6 sharpening my ax!

I agree. It's difficult for me to pick out the worst boss I ever had since they were all pretty bad in their own way. Overall, I'd have to say that one was particularly bad in every way except he wasn't a micro manager. In fact, he was so hands off he was barely involved with the project or his workers in any way. He abdicated everything to a full-time employee who was hired as a programmer on the same project as me. This programmer was totally unfit as a project leader or manager. Anyway, back to the manager. He was too busy starting up a web company on the side and building a big expensive house to be bothered with us.

I do my shopping user-ratings homework with the following pattern: I look up a drive's user-ratings on TigerDirect & NewEgg. Importantly, I don't only look at a 4 1/2 out of 5 ratings on its own, but check the ratio of high ratings vs. very low ratings. Often you'll note that 20% of the raters gave it a very bad rating because it was either DOA or crashed withing a few weeks. I've observed, for example, that no one seems to really make a reliable drive over 1 TB. A fraction of them work well, but far to large a fraction are either stillborn or go out soon after the user loads all of their data. If you can find one with a drive that's not made in China, you'll probably cut your risk significantly (but it cost money). Philosophy: Even for free, an unreliable Hard Drive is severely overpriced.
