Hi Mike

> Shine on man, shine on ! You can make this happen.

Thanks :-)

I hope your son is better soon.

I work hard at things I enjoy. Probably even more extremely than I should. I

always try and keep up with the latest, and most efficient things to help

people. I guess the thing for me is knowing how to help. And I genuinely

like that, but I also like learning as much as I can about anything. And I

find that when I am at the desk and looking at my magazines on Microsoft

Office 2000, SQL 7, and various server setups, I get queried by the sys

admins, and so far the reaction has been good. And management has been

making good noises, but budget allocations are based on how the US

operations charge the Aus affiliates, and how the UK office decides on

resource allocations.

One of the best things so far, is that the techs in the area are used to

Temps like me having no ability to work by myself, and the AS400 programmer,

who works alongside me, and also answers phones, said that the best thing

about me is that I can be left alone to work. viz, they trust me enough to

be able to cope by myself. And that only took 2 days to establish.

Anyway, I am enjoying life at the moment, and planning for changes in a few

weeks and keeping my options open. All I can do is my very best, and then

beyond that the decisions are in the hands of other people. I just have to

get them to notice my good work. And thus far I have received at least 6

thank you emails, which even the others seem to have only a few of :-)

The mind is the element that last the longest. I guess I am used to the old

stage performer in me, where you usually have to be fit to get on stage, but

you get fitter once there. But I have never been sure how that works. All I

know is that I love rock, and even though some people my age seem to have

" grown out of " their favorite bands, I still love the bands that inspired me

in my life in the 70's. Either I am ossified, or I am a relic... maybe :-)
