He talks about constant learning (something I continually work on forever it seems) Its an excellent read. < Message edited by c1sissy -- 10/27/2006 8:18:58 > _____________________________ Deb-aka-c4Ksissy high panjandurum and alpha female of the silverback tribe As decreed by Jesper 5-24-2003.

This is particularly true if you work from home. Make sure people know the difference between your work time and your home time. Just because you�re at home doesn�t mean you have time to do the dishes, clean the house and take out the trash. HOW!!! HOW!!! I've tried. and tried, and tried. I've hinted and hinted and dragged them all round and laid it on the line. I've been nice, I've been rude. It works for at least a week and then it's back to the "Are you busy?" "Yes" "Oh well you need a break." Yesterday I got "I know you don't like people phoning during the day cos you're busy so I'll be quick.... did you see that program on Whales on the TV last night....." _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

Stays in bed all day. 2. Never switches on his/her computer 3. Hosts all his sites on myspace 4. Swears at potential customers and tells them he's too busy (playing computer games) 5. His email address ends @aol.com 6. Has a 28kps dial up ISP account (No offense to Nicloe intended) 7. Habitually forgets to invoice his customers. _____________________________ I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington. He could not lie; I can, but I won't.

There's no reason you can't make excellent websites using a slow connection speed or any kind of dial-up at all. _____________________________ (in reply to womble)
