You Know You Should Break Up With Your Boyfriend When…

Customer: “Hi, can my boyfriend enroll in my Beginner’s Spanish class that I started last week?”

Me: “Normally, yes, but that course is already full.”

Customer: “Well, can he enroll anyway?”

Me: “I would love to help, but we have a maximum number of students so as not to overwhelm the teacher and allow for more individualized attention, and we’re already at our max. So the course is not open to any new students.”

Customer: “Well he actually already speaks Spanish so he doesn’t actually need to take the course, he just wants to be there.”

Me: “Umm…..”

Customer: “See, he wants to do the course with me so we can spend time together. So he’ll totally pay for the course but he won’t like take up any of the teacher’s time. He just wants to you know BE with me.”

Me: “Right, how sweet…well the problem is we can’t allow people to just hang out in the classroom while other people are trying to work. And you wouldn’t really have time to spend with him if you’re focused on the lesson…right?”

Customer: “Yeah… well, he doesn’t mind. He just wants to watch and you know, be with me.”

Me: “Yeah, I’m getting that. Well, I can certainly ask my colleague who’s in charge of these courses, but I’m pretty sure the answer will still be no.”

Customer: “Well then can I just switch to the next course in a few months from now and then you can enroll both of us? I want to continue right now but he…you know.”

Me: “He just can’t leave you alone for two hours once a week?”

Customer: “Yeah…”

Me: “Right, I’ll have someone be in touch tomorrow and you can explain it all to them and see what can be worked out.”

Customer: “He just wants to spend time with me.”

Me: “I’m getting that. It’s very sweet (lying). We’ll see what we can do. I am sure we can make something work to make him happy. And you, of course.”

Customer: “Right…okay, I’ll wait to hear from someone tomorrow. He’s just…okay. Bye”

Me: Places head on desk and prays for vodka.

what you should know about the blaster worm and its variants

what you should know about the blaster worm and its variants
W32 Blaster Worm Removal Tool
This tool is designed to remove the infections of:

W32.Blaster.Worm
W32.Blaster.B.Worm
W32.Blaster.C.Worm
W32.Blaster.D.Worm
W32.Blaster.E.Worm
W32.Blaster.F.Worm

Important:
W32.Blaster.Worm exploits the DCOM RPC vulnerability. This is described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026, and a patch is available there. You must download and install the patch. In many cases, you will need to do this before continuing with the removal instructions. If you are not able to remove the infection or prevent re-infection using the following instructions, first download and install the patch.

Additional information, and an alternate site from which to download the Microsoft patch is available in the Microsoft article "What You Should Know About the Blaster Worm and Its Variants."

Because of the way the worm works, it may be difficult to connect to the Internet to obtain the patch, definitions, or removal tool before the worm shuts down the computer. It has been reported that, for users of Windows XP, activating the Windows XP firewall may allow you to download and install the patch, obtain virus definitions, and run the removal tool. This may also work with other firewalls, although this has not been confirmed.


Important:

If you are on a network or have a full-time connection to the Internet, such as a DSL or cable modem, disconnect the computer from the network and Internet. Disable or password-protect file sharing, or set the shared files to Read Only, before reconnecting the computers to the network or to the Internet. Because this worm spreads by using shared folders on networked computers, to ensure that the worm does not reinfect the computer after it has been removed, Symantec suggests sharing with Read Only access or by using password protection.

For instructions on how to do this, refer to your Windows documentation, or the document: How to configure shared Windows folders for maximum network protection.

If you are removing an infection from a network, first make sure that all the shares are disabled or set to Read Only.
This tool is not designed to run on Novell NetWare servers. To remove this threat from a NetWare server, first make sure that you have the current virus definitions, and then run a full system scan with the Symantec antivirus product.


How to download and run the tool

Important: You must have administrative rights to run this tool on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP.

Note for network administrators: If you are running MS Exchange 2000 Server, we recommend that you exclude the M drive from the scan by running the tool from a command line, with the Exclude switch. For more information, read the Microsoft knowledge base article: XADM: Do Not Back Up or Scan Exchange 2000 Drive M (Article 298924).

Follow these steps to download and run the tool:

Download the FixBlast.exe file from:http://www.symantec.com/content/en/us/global/removal_tool/threat_writeups/FixBlast.exe.
Save the file to a convenient location, such as your Windows desktop.
Optional: To check the authenticity of the digital signature, refer to the "Digital signature" section later in this writeup.

Note: If you are sure that you are downloading this tool from the Security Response Web site, you can skip this step. If you are not sure, or are a network administrator and need to authenticate the files before deployment, follow the steps in the "Digital signature" section before proceeding with step 4.

Close all the running programs.
If you are on a network or if you have a full-time connection to the Internet, disconnect the computer from the network and the Internet.
If you are running Windows Me or XP, turn off System Restore. For instructions on how to turn off System Restore, read your Windows documentation, or one of the following articles:

How to disable or enable Windows Me System Restore

How to turn off or turn on Windows XP System Restore

Locate the file that you just downloaded.
Double-click the FixBlast.exe file to start the removal tool.
Click Start to begin the process, and then allow the tool to run.

NOTE: If you have any problems when you run the tool, or it does nor appear to remove the threat, restart the computer in Safe mode and run the tool again.

Restart the computer.
Run the removal tool again to ensure that the system is clean.
If you are running Windows Me/XP, then reenable System Restore.
If you are on a network or if you have a full-time connection to the Internet, reconnect the computer to the network or to the Internet connection.
Run LiveUpdate to make sure that you are using the most current virus definitions.


When the tool has finished running, you will see a message indicating whether the threat has infected the computer. The tool displays results similar to the following:

Total number of the scanned files
Number of deleted files
Number of repaired files
Number of terminated viral processes
Number of fixed registry entries


What the tool does
The Removal Tool does the following:

Terminates the associated processes
Deletes the associated files
Deletes the registry values added by the threat



Switches
The following switches are designed for use by network administrators:
/HELP, /H, /?
Displays the help message.
/NOFIXREG
Disables the registry repair (We do not recommend using this switch).
/SILENT, /S
Enables the silent mode.
/LOG=[PATH NAME]
Creates a log file where [PATH NAME] is the location in which to store the tool's output. By default, this switch creates the log file, FixBlast.log, in the same folder from which the removal tool was executed.
/MAPPED
Scans the mapped network drives. (We do not recommend using this switch. See the following Note.)
/START
Forces the tool to immediately start scanning.
/EXCLUDE=[PATH]
Excludes the specified [PATH] from scanning. (We do not recommend using this switch. See the following Note.)
/NOCANCEL
Disables the cancel feature of the removal tool.
/NOFILESCAN
Prevents the scanning of the file system.
/NOVULNCHECK
Disables checking for unpatched files.


Important: Using the /MAPPED switch does not ensure the complete removal of the virus on the remote computer, because:

The scanning of mapped drives scans only the mapped folders. This may not include all the folders on the remote computer, which can lead to missed detections.
If a viral file is detected on the mapped drive, the removal will fail if a program on the remote computer uses this file.

Therefore, you should run the tool on every computer.

The /EXCLUDE switch will only work with one path, not multiple. An alternative is the /NOFILESCAN switch followed by a manual scan with AntiVirus. This will let the tool alter the registry. Then, scan the computer with AntiVirus with current virus definitions. With these steps, you should be able to clean the file system.

The following is an example command line that can be used to exclude a single drive:

"C:\Documents and Settings\user1\Desktop\FixBlast.exe" /EXCLUDE=M:\ /LOG=c:\FixBlast.txt

Alternatively, the command line below will skip scanning the file system, but will repair the registry modifications. Then, run a regular scan of the system with proper exclusions:

"C:\Documents and Settings\user1\Desktop\FixBlast.exe" /NOFILESCAN /LOG=c:\FixBlast.txt

Note: You can give the log file any name and save it to any location.

Digital signature
For security purposes, the removal tool is digitally signed. Symantec recommends that you use only copies of the removal tool that have been directly downloaded from the Symantec Security Response Web site.

If you are not sure, or are a network administrator and need to authenticate files before deployment, you should check the authenticity of the digital signature.

Follow these steps:

Go to http://www.wmsoftware.com/free.htm.
Download and save the Chktrust.exe file to the same folder in which you saved the removal tool.

Note: Most of the following steps are done at a command prompt. If you downloaded the removal tool to the Windows desktop, it will be easier if you first move the tool to the root of the C drive. Then save the Chktrust.exe file to the root of C as well.

(Step 3 to assume that both the removal tool and Chktrust.exe are in the root of the C drive.)

Click Start > Run.
Type one of the following:

Windows 95/98/Me:
command

Windows NT/2000/XP:
cmd

Click OK.
In the command window, type the following, pressing Enter after typing each line:

cd\
cd downloads
chktrust -i FixBlast.exe

You should see the following message:

Do you want to install and run "W32.Blaster.Worm Removal Tool" signed on 8/14/2003 08:52 AM and distributed by Symantec Corporation?

Notes:
The date and time in the digital signature above are based on Pacific time. They will be adjusted your computer's time zone and Regional Options settings.

If you are using Daylight Saving time, the displayed time will be exactly one hour earlier.

If this dialog box does not appear, there are two possible reasons:

The tool is not from Symantec: Unless you are sure that the tool is legitimate and that you downloaded it from the legitimate Symantec Web site, you should not run it.

The tool is from Symantec and is legitimate: However, your operating system was previously instructed to always trust content from Symantec. For information on this and on how to view the confirmation dialog again, read the document: How to restore the Publisher Authenticity confirmation dialog box.

Click Yes or Run to close the dialog box.
Type exit, and then press Enter. (This will close the MS-DOS session.)

Tweet Attacks - Dominate Twitter Marketing

Tweet Attacks - Dominate Twitter Marketing
Is Tweet Attacks the right Twitter marketing tool for you? For those of you that are interested in starting to actively market using Twitter it can be extremely hard to find out what works. First of all Twitter traffic is known widely to be nearly impossible to convert and second of all they are getting better and better at banning those who "spam" Twitter.

The thing that makes Tweet Attacks the best Twitter marketing software on the market right now is not only the price but also what it's capable of doing. It does literally everything from following and tweeting right from the web. Which means that unlike the other programs that use the API the Tweet Attacks software looks like a human, not a program.

Also the Tweet Attacks twitter marketing program does a great job at sifting through all the tweets out there to find your target market. You can even tell it to listen for tweets containing certain keywords and then automatically reply to them. This is especially good if you are promoting one of the smaller niche markets. Actually it's good for marketing pretty much anything.

Tweet Attacks really has so much it's really hard to explain each module in detail without ending up with a 50 page book on the Tweet Attacks software. What the heck though, if you're here I'm sure you want to know more than simply about the Tweet Attacks reply module.


Tweet Attacks Follow Module - This module allows you to follow people based either on a search for specific keywords in people's tweets, follow another users followers or who they are following and also follow users from lists. Definitely some amazing features for anyone wanting to market using Twitter.

Tweet Attacks Unfollow Module - This was actually one of the main reasons I got the program in the first place. This module allows you to unfollow people you have already followed after a set period of time or simply unfollow a set number of people. That means you can follow people one day and the next simply unfollow them or set it to unfollow people who haven't followed you back after a couple days. Very important feature of any Twitter marketing tool.


Tweet Attacks Advanced Search With Human Filtering - This is also a must for those of us that market on Twitter. We don't want to be tweeting to a bunch of Twitter bots, we need human eyes on our Tweets so we can push traffic to our websites and make money. Tweet Attacks allows you to find only those tweets posted from the web and also filter out accounts that don't have a picture and even filter out tweets that contain links in them. I have found this feature a definite must for making money using Twitter.

Tweet Attacks Follow / Unfollow Scheduler - This is a great feature for those of us with multiple Twitter accounts. It can become a pain to remember to do each task all the time and lets face it, it's a boring task. This allows us to setup the information one day and completely forget about it and let Tweet Attacks do all our following and unfollowing for us. If you manage multiple accounts then this is definitely something you will want to look into.

Tweet Attacks Reply Generator - I've already covered this amazing feature but what the heck I'll go over it again. This module of Tweet Attacks simply listens for Tweets containing keywords that you want to target and then automatically sends out a reply tweet to that person. If you don't think you can make money with that feature of Tweet Attacks alone then you may be drunk.

Tweet Attacks Multi User Tweet Poster - This is my personal favorite module of Tweet Attacks. It allows me to find thousands of people interested in my offers and then use multiple accounts to tweet @reply tweets to them using multiple accounts. This is huge in helping you scale up your Twitter marketing efforts. I would have paid a couple hundred dollars for this feature alone.

Tweet Attacks Tweet Poster Module - This module simply lets you create tweets and you can create hundreds of them even thousands and save them or schedule them to be tweeted out at a later date, you can even simply tell the twitter account to start tweeting the tweets with random time intervals.

Tweet Attacks Retweet Module - Now this is an amazing feature if you have multiple Twitter accounts. You can set them up to retweet each others tweets. This is amazing if you want to get your tweets and links on high authority sites that keep track of tweets that have been retweeted.

Overall I have to Give Tweet Attacks an A+ as far as Twitter marketing software goes. I have used quite a few different ones such as Tweet Adder and Hummingbird but neither have even came close to the performance that Tweet Attacks has. If you really want to make money and you're serious about Twitter marketing then Tweet Attacks is a must have tool in your marketing arsenal.

You can even try Tweet Attacks risk free for 7 days, do yourself a favor and give Tweet Attacks a try.

It is used by countless currency traders, big banks and personal investors all over the world, 24 hours a day. The market only closes on a Sunday, and the predicted turnover per day is roughly 4 million USD. Most people utilize the currency exchange market for direct currency trade, so whether they are a bank or private trader they must be able to use a high speed link to the market 24 hours a day.

Private individuals utilize the market too, though they may not always be aware of it. For example, a UK household is organizing a holiday to the States in August. For the holiday, they require 10,000 in local currency. So, they head for a foreign currency kiosk and ask to change their pounds into dollars. The currency exchange bureau has to use the currency market in order to handle and trade currencies.

Even travel currency is least expensive when ordered from an internet firm. Most currency kiosks at stations just can’t give the great value exchange rates that online currency firms can. This is a generally accepted truth, because regular bureaux de change have much larger overheads than internet companies.

The simplest means of getting the best foreign exchange rates on the web is by weighing up the currency rates updated each day. Companies, whether they are forex specialists or holiday currency agents, usually list out their daily rates for the top global currencies.

The Net, however, has improved.

The specific components of your web site are the stuff that create your internet personality. What type of images do you choose? Exactly how are your headings expressed? What type of approach does your site content own?

The way you place all the elements together is very important as well. Ensure your site’s colours refer to the colours within your emblem. Utilise visual design and style in your web site that follows the essential elements of your company logo. Keep it basic and uniform (zero pages beyond your colour palette and graphical concept) and your consumers will probably identify with your site.

27 Things You Should Know About Me [ www.opheliaswebb.com ]

what you should know about me
The hardest thing in our lives is really knowing ourselves.

Well. That and accepting said knowledge.

Somewhere deep down inside, we know who we are. What we want. Where we are happiest.

By virtue of a link-back teaser I stumbled onto a post by Corbett Barr called 33 Things I’ve Never Told You. It reminded me of a post I read this fall by Tyler Tervooren called 16 Reasons To Unsubscribe To This Site.

Two things appealed to me about these posts:

They force the blog writer to dig deep and write about who they are. And face some truths that are hard for lots of us to face.
They offer readers insight to the person writing the blog. It is a very comprehensive way of saying “This is who I am, this is what I think, this is what I stand for – you still up for the journey?”

A week of working on and pouring over this post, I think it is a pretty good representation of all that. I chose to list 27 Things because 27 was the hardest year of my grown-up life so far. It was when I realized how utterly unhappy I was with the world I had created and that I wanted things to change.

1. I am an INTJ – One of the rarest of the Myers-Briggs types, INTJ’s are most often known for their independence of thought, their need for efficiency and their unique ability to combine imagination and analytical logic. Much like horoscopes, which are designed to be vague, I understand why a lot of personality labels are nothing more than an easy way to define ourselves. People who know me well and read the profile for an INTJ, however, tell me how creepy accurate it is.

2. I used to smoke close to a pack of cigarettes a day – You know those people with an addictive personality? I am totally one of them. I don’t like to half-ass my habits and addictions. For this reason, I also try to be very careful with what I drink. Try being the operative word.

3. I was a Registered Republican until I was 23 years old – A friend once described me as a Liberal Heart with a Conservative Mind.

4. Once upon a time in a group of 5 guys someone said to me “Elisa, since you are the closest thing we have to a girl, what do you think?” – I love high heels and cupcakes and fashion as much as the next girl, but if given the choice I’d rather spend my time at a bar watching the game, drinking beer, and eating wings. Apparently this often rules me out of the ‘girl’ category. (Related Post: Contrary to Popular Belief I Am, In Fact, A Girl)

5. I never finished college - I started college in the music education and performance program. After a semester I switched to philosophy. By halfway through my sophomore year I switched a third time to English (concentration in Creative Writing) and Classical Studies (concentration in Latin language and Roman history). I worked a lot, partied more and in general did not appreciate the opportunity. At the end of my junior year the University and I mutually decided we needed to take some time to re-evaluate our relationship.

6. Many people think I am a complete bitch when they first meet me – It takes a bit of time for me to assess a social situation and decide how I will fit into it. This apparently makes me come off as distracted or aloof or distant or just plain bitchy.

7. I used to be a Christian Youth Group leader - When I first returned home from college, I recognized the need for a new high school Youth Group leader at my parents’ United Methodist Church that I attended weekly. I was the leader for three years, and I love the kids that were in the group in ways I don’t even comprehend. Scheduling, disagreements on policy, a judgmental homophobic conversation I happened upon and an acquired dislike for the general corruption of organized religion caused me to resign.

8. I am painfully shy – When in front of large groups and while meeting new people, I have major anxiety. Some of the better manifestations of my shyness include shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat and breaking out in very itchy blotchy red hives.

9. I actually liked my corporate job – I worked for the largest insurance company in the United States where I trained sales agents on tech systems and life insurance sales. My boss was amazing, my job involved me being on the road at least 3 days a week, I had so much freedom to do my job as I wanted, and I paid forward the message that no one sells a life insurance policy worth keeping by wheeling and dealing and hypothetically killing clients who just want to love and protect their families during sales conversations.

10. I have never been in love - When I was 18 years old I had been with my high school sweetheart for 3 1/2 years and I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with him. I have since seen a stronger teen love in movies starring Freddie Prinze Jr. Three months after we broke up, I was in college and dated my sorority sister’s brother for approximately 10 days. Since then I have flipped between casual relationships, countless first dates and very long bouts of being single.

11. I’m (maybe not so) secretly obsessed with chick flicks - As someone who counts Pride & Prejudice among her favorite books, I am fascinated by the relationships between people. Romantically, platonically, friends and family…they all have such delicate intricacies that are brilliantly portrayed by the likes of Parker Posey and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. If I ever write a screenplay, it will be for a Romantic Indie.

12. My sister is also my best friend - There are countless ceramic sculptures and wall plaques that claim the same sweet sentiment, but the relationship I have with my sister cannot be put into words. If everything in the world fell away, she would be what kept me grounded. And I would do anything for her.

13. I have always lived in the state of Maine – It isn’t because I am fiercely devoted to staying by my roots or being scared of the unknown. I am a ridiculously analytical planner. I never wanted to move just to move. There always had to be more involved. (Related Post: Location Indy Haters)

14. I am fiercely dedicated to finding a cure for cancer – By nature I am an activist. I see badness in the world, and I want to help fix it. Cancer is a badness I would like to eradicate. It is a hateful little parasite, that destroys not only the life of its host but anyone they touch. Building awareness, raising funds, participating in legislative and committee work – if it will one day find a cure I’ll do it.

15. I have a stammer and a speech impediment – I have a speech disorder called rhotacism, which means I sometimes get my “R” pronunciation confused with other letters, most often “W”. I speak very articulately and carefully because of this. Sometimes I am not afforded that luxury and that is generally when I start stammering to make sure I am enunciating correctly. People made fun of me as a child and still do when I slip up.

16. On paper, I’m a genius - IQ testing consistently puts me in the ‘genius’ range. This does not stop me from having enough common sense to not walk into oncoming traffic. From my experience, intelligence quotients don’t really mean a lot unless you are working in academia or something similar. Being good with people and perceiving situations are far superior mental abilities in the other 99% of life. (Related Post – I Know You Are But What Am I?)

17. I used to have a tongue ring – “There is a time and a place for everything, and it’s called ‘College’” (from South Park). I lost my tongue ring while visiting friends, when I was too drunk to fix the ball at the bottom of the bar and it fell into the sink drain.

18. I know that my life is going to explode in the next 18 months – With projects lining up and new offers coming in and learning about different opportunities near daily, I feel like I’m standing on the edge of a painting that is brilliant and beautiful and ready for me to leave my mark on it.

19. I have been known to sing jazz in clubs and bars for extra money – When I was younger, I was in a couple bands and also sang solo standards at open mics and obscure hole in the wall dives for beer money (or often times just beer). I love music and singing, but I have never been able to deal with the belief that I am not good enough.

20. I have a chronic illness called fibromyalgia – Fibromyalgia is a disorder that affects the musculoskeletal system and is characterized most notably by severe and lasting pain, fatigue, memory issues, difficulty sleeping and mood problems. Basically, I am sick and tired every single day of my life. I spent the first five years of my twenties with a doctor who tried to regulate the disease with anti-depressants and sleeping pills. I rarely take medication, even aspirin, as a result. I also go to homeopathic doctor now. (Related Post – How I Crossed The Stream)

21. During my freshman year of college, I was responsible for a riot on the quad – I was the public relations chair of the Student Government at the University of Maine in 1999 when they won the National NCAA Hockey Championship against long-time rival, the University of New Hampshire. I was charged with organizing an event for the student body. While I was in the field house cleaning up after, a peer came running in to let me know that the students had poured out onto the quad and started a massive bonfire. They had even stolen a snowmobile to drive into the center of the woodpile. When I had to meet with the President of the University to discuss the riot, he greeted me by shaking my hand and saying “So. You are the little girl who started the big bonfire.”

22. I am super goofy - For all my careful carriage and polite intelligence and perceived distance, I am just a goofy girl who laughs at knock knock jokes and dances the robot randomly. One could say that I am just uncool, but uncool is cool now, right?!

23. I’m born in the XY Cusp – Born in 1980 I’m smack dab in the middle of a bidding war between membership in Generation X and Generation Y, depending on which study you pull the dates from. I like to think I got the best of both generations, but in reality I am much more Gen Y.

24. I’m a feminist – I don’t usually play well with many feminists and women’s organizations, often being scolded for not being passionate enough or defending women’s rights the correct way. That is not how my brain works, and instead I logically break down a situation and form my opinions. I do not think women should be given special rights or emulated at the expense of men. Perhaps I’m an idealist…I’d rather just see everyone treated fairly.

25.I almost was not hired for a job because the hiring manager did not like my laugh – I have a very loud laugh. It is hearty and sharp and boisterous. I have been told for years that people can hear me laugh from other parts of a building. It annoys some people. Others appreciate my desire to express genuine happiness. (Related Post – In Maine The Devil Wears Macy’s)

26. I have the ability to be scary manipulative – Years spent methodically breaking down situations often allows me to quickly understand the different perspectives at play and how they can work together or against each other. When I was younger, I did not always use this knowledge in a good way. As I grew older, I learned that I did not like being that person.

27. I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up – It seems to many that I am living my dream life, being a freelance writer and strategy consultant. I love my work. And I don’t know if it is that I am terrified of peaking at the age of 30 or realizing there’s still so much more I want to do in this world, but I question daily if this is the career I want to have.

For those of you that are new here, this is what you are in for.

For everyone who has been here all along – you still up for the journey?

Things you should know before working with me [ maadmob.net ]

Things you should know before working with me [ maadmob.net ]

I have often thought about how I work with people, and how people work with me. My work is a bit odd, and I’m a bit odd and people don’t always know what to expect.

So here’s a guide to what you need to know before working with me (in the context of me doing interface design and information architecture work for a project):

I may spend a long time seeming to do very little. Don’t panic – I’m thinking. Exactly what you pay me to do.
I spend a lot of time with earphones in. That means I’m trying to think and concentrate amongst the chatter of an office, not that I’m anti-social.
If you give me a gantt chart all arranged in linear order, I’ll nod and get to the end on time and budget, but not by the path you set.
I spend a long time gathering information and thinking, and little time producing towards the end. Once I have nailed an idea, all else is straightforward and fast. So if you think I’m going to miss a deadline because I haven’t produced much, stop worrying.
Outputs need inputs – I have experience, but I can’t design a good system out of nothing. I need to base it on something. Don’t stick me in a corner and not let me research and talk to people.
Teams are good – I have lots of experience at what I do. But so do you and the team. Let’s work together to create something great. Don’t make me work by myself and expect me to produce miracles.
I’ll occasionally rant and get passionate. That means I care.
Give me challenging work, give me time to work through it and we’ll get there. Don’t expect me to to hard work in the same time I do easy work. That’s just dumb.
If there isn’t enough work, I’d genuinely prefer to be at home. I’m not hanging around to chase dollars.
I hate banging my head against a political brick wall. I’d prefer to be anywhere else – that’s just a waste of time.

So, that’s me. Let’s go!

[Note: I wrote this over many months and will continue to tweak it, so it is not aimed at any previous client.]
