Dilemma

[ALM]

Well its looking like 60 developers will soon be on the bench for a while. (mixture of perm, consultants and dare I say it contractors).

What bench?

[EternalOptimist]

[sasguru]

Forget it guys. Its all bullsh*t.

Remember the commandments Chico. THOU SHALT NOT LIE. A dictum I keep to more than you, even though I am an atheist.

[EternalOptimist]

Thank God I'm an athiest too.

What did they say about delusions of grandeur? By your own words you are a failed contractor, an inadequate atheist, inarticulate, alcoholic, have low self esteem, prone to exaggeration. When I need tips on any of the above - I will come to you guru.

I don't recall Jesus going round slagging the unfortunate off ...

[Chico]

As I readily admit snaw I am an imperfect being and I pray for forgiveness for my actions daily. I feel a hymn coming on...


Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Nice hymn, written by a slave trader wasn't it?

[Chico]
