Winging it

[doodab]

If someone phones you up and offers you an airy fairy handwaving job, although you consider yourself a concrete technical sort of person, would you go for it if the money was good?

I've been winging it for last 10 years and still not been caught out. Money is better, lunches are longer but you have this hollow 'but I'm not making anything' feeling inside.

what, like testing?

would you go for it if the money was good?

Without question.

Nothing that concrete. I would basically be stating the obvious. Several times. Probably until my patience wore thin.

Even if I were utterly technically incompetent the chances of anyone noticing would be exceedingly slim.

My irritable nature may be a problem.

IIRC your warchest is not overflowing. Why even consider turning it down?

It would have to be mega money.

WHS, but without the hollow part.

I'm not considering turning it down. If I'm offered it I will take it.

It would be a good career move. Although it might result in extreme boredom.

There are worse things.
