Ken Dibble wrote: My central observation is that it's kind of tragic as well as kind of funny when people who believe intensely in their own ability to always be King of the Hill get pushed off the hill by somebody meaner and tougher than they are, and then they complain that it wasn't fair, that the game was rigged. Of course it's rigged--but some people will get up, brush themselves off, start climbing, and get pushed back down in the mud over and over before they'll admit that, because admitting that means they must truly be incapable of "pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps". Meanwhile, the people at the top suffer from no such illusions--they know they were born half way up on the gradual slope, that they pushed and pulled each other the rest of the way in a textbook demonstration of "it takes a village", and that their hands remain clean because they've hired a legion of thugs to push anybody off who gets too close.
And I think that's about as OT as I've ever been here. Ken: Not so far off topic. You just described me in 1991 when my dad died and I decided to quit my corporate management position to write FoxPro 2.0 applications. This may be simplistic but I believe there are only two types of workers - those that can work for someone else and those that can't. I am the latter. Oh, and by the way, did anyone look into the VFP Job in Paradise?
