Since when did being professional mean you could watch a list with nothing
to talk about?
Or HEY maybe you guys are letting your clients and bosses know what other
time your billing them for, what is it now? 20 minutes on the hour in ratio
of this list to work?
John W: There is life beyond CF.. but hey maybe I can get some tips on
telling my clients "Oh yeah... you paid for somet time that I was playing
too, cuz uh... it was more important than getting the job done."
Ben Braver: Uh Guess what, if getting the job done first means having my
head up my ass then not only are you demented but I'm a better businessman
than you... Is that something for your resume? "Any guy with his head up his
ass is better at this stuff than me, but you should hire me because I'll
gladly blow some of your money on my private time." And woohoo, I'm 17 years
old, so now a kid with his head up his ass is a better business man than
you... and oh yeah, when I was in Elementary School, I never had clients to
bill...
Jennifer: Is it not common sense that when someone is able to post to a list
all day every day that they are doing it while working.. of course some
people have a legitimate respect for their jobs..
Thanks,
Tony Hicks
As Ben Braver would say "Just a guy with his head up his ass"
