    ze boss

    I know that I need to chill and invoice, but it's no fun when I have to go over the same piece of code thrice using 3 different ASP.NET controls and re-wire the functionality just because "he" wants a piece of text to be displayed at the top of the control
    Been hacking for a solution for some time, because none of the controls offer a clean solution to display that piece of text. Hate it when bosses are sticklers about width of the column, text displayed in the column, ordering of columns, whether it should be called lookup or view. Micromanagement as best

        Ok.

        Now can you make it do blah blah blah as well?
        I was especially fond of that one when I'd spent days carefully crafting assembler to do what he wanted originally & had to hack it to pieces to make it do the next Brilliant Idea.

          Sounds like the perfect contract. Fiddling around for years on a project that never ends, punctuated with regular invoicing....

            Not really. This one is proceeding as a pretty good pace with me as a sole dev and he controlling the brains behind the thing (micromanagement), so its gonna end pretty soon. Or maybe I will
