   I can believe it ... pointy-haired bosses outnumber the
   sensible bosses ten to one IMHO  :-)

   I'd once spent months writing code/functions/subs/structure
   for a database and then one of the directors wanted to make
   ONE LITTLE CHANGE. I spent an hour arguing how we'd have
   to throw away months of code built on the current paradigm
   just because of that. Fortunately I was still young and
   strong and could quickly diagram-out WHY that was so.

   In THAT case it worked out. the guy WAS a nerd - even
   hand-wired one of the shops old PCs, an LSI-11 jobbie with
   8" floppies (my very first job was to get all the data OFF
   that and INTO the new-fangled IBM-PCs - a serial port wiring
   rats-nest ... have a (chemical) photo of that somewhere) so
   HE could understand and be persuaded. But MOST bosses, they'll
   have it whatever way their latest brainfart takes them no
   matter HOW big a disaster. That old adage about "rise to their
   level of incompetence" really seems true.

   One of the newer bosses decided that Unix/Linux was evil
   and MicroSoft was the "standard", the Holy Grail - didn't
   know anything about computing beyond the buzz-shit read in
   management mags. I left it so there WAS still some -x .. but
   hidden well enough they'd never notice it (not that they'd
   know it if they saw it, not even a FreeBSD VM).

   AAAAAUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH !

   Yea ... "Small Shop".

   Better to be the big fish in the smaller pond - you'll
   keep your sanity and be able to Do It Right. You may
   even have FUN !

   I learned this very early on - a few years behind the
   poor bastards in the white shirts and narrow ties. Saw
   their unspeakable fates. After that I never "worked"
   another day in my life.

   Observing unspeakable fates is why I never got married
   either ... amazing how much money you can save, and
   arteriosclerosis you can escape, taking that path  :-)
