here i do find myself at a bit of an advantage being a contractor. i can, to some extent, tromp on office politics. they bring me in to do a job, often at a large expense [ or at least a high bill rate from my company] and tend to accept what i say as truth since i'm an outsider. now that also has a down side, since i come into a situation where my presence is already resented by the geeks because they see my being brought in as an insult. now let's see if any of this actually shows up.;-) -- Bill "Shrek" Thater ORACLE DBA "I'm going to work my ticket if I can..." -- Gilwell song [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ...the myth of socialism is far stronger than the reality of capitalism.
