Right on schedule. I could set my watch by you. This is what is known as known as "managing" Tom. I know you are unfamiliar with the process, but I can assure you that businesses that don't "manage" their resources find the exit door quickly. > As an added bonus we also get a dose of contempt. The poor schmuck > who is falling behind with their work due to bad IT is a "drama > queen." You make sure they know: "IT doesn't care about your deadlines." There aren't different types of personalities that have an effect on how they behave and how they perceive the world? Hmmm, maybe your world is full of identical drones.... As I indicated, I get to know my users. It helps you identify quickly who truly is trustworthy and when they make a request, you know it to be most likely be reasonable. It also helps you to learn who will be putting on the dog, because they can't cope with their duties or want to feel important at my budget's expense and want you to needlessly spend money when there is a high degree of probability that they will only use the program once or twice. I had users who wanted me to buy Photoshop so they could crop pictures and remove red eye from photos. That was their complete business case. In your world, I should have joust spent the $700, rather than think for 2 seconds and gotten them Elements at 1/8 the cost. Your world must be verrrrry expensive. But hey, it's only your client's money, not yours, so who cares? Right? > That's what IT "running well" looks like. Sure. Come on over and I'll show you what it's supposed to look like. It's clear you have trouble visualizing that. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
