Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

Originally posted by threaded View PostLets face in, in IT you really don't need to use your brain anymore. Most contracts I've had for the last 15+ years I've solved between the interview and the weekend, most often on the drive home. Sometimes have problems remembering the solution before the grind the handle part of the contract starts.
Gosh Threaded, you're so jolly clever.
I wish we could all be like you.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I'd rather the pilot of the airliner do that than ponder if Agatha Christie was a closet Messiah who wrote in Bible Code, wouldn't you ?

Originally posted by threaded View PostYeah, there's concentration, and then there's thinking. I'm not saying there is no work to be done, but, really, do you need to 'think' to do it?
Regardless of whether I have solved a problem 1001 times, if the same problem occurs, I go through a mental checklist for thoroughness each time. On the occasions I haven't, I've missed something.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

Originally posted by threaded View PostI'm just saying that stage doesn't take the entire contract, and I manage it before I even know if I've got the contract..
