I enjoy writing them, some more than others, but nothing like a deadline to make you get creative. <BR/>Sometimes you have to let it go, but I try to limit it by saying we will get more info to them.

I don't think it is on purpose because I have found IBMers to be pretty straight - one of our corporate values (paraphrasing) is "trust in all relationships". However, it can be awkward not to jump in and correct them, but sometimes it is inevitable to gently contradict with the facts.<BR/><BR/>later<BR/><BR/>ChrisChris Recklinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04982748496248944811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994561579739999989.post-73057718538455166992008-12-05T18:27:00.000+02:002008-12-05T18:27:00.000+02:00Denny, Say hi to my sister, she lives in Pittsburg...Denny, Say hi to my sister, she lives in Pittsburgh.<BR/><BR/>Your quote from Boat Drinks reminds me of a Warren Zevon concert I have on disc where he is doing Werewolves of London and inthe middle says, drinking boat drinks, jimmy buffet style instead of a pina colada at trader vics.<BR/><BR/>Fix the problems is key and it's what I lived for over many years and it just kills me when someone messes everything up by fluffing.Keith Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107190540208956954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994561579739999989.post-91981723997314738482008-12-05T17:52:00.000+02:002008-12-05T17:52:00.000+02:00Great post.

It may not be our solution or it might be something you already own in Domino or Exchange, but we are there to help you fix your problems. Just trying to 'sell' you our software isn't always the best answer and isn't going to get us very far in the long run.<BR/><BR/>Sitting in Snowy cold Pittsburgh, I'll leave you with this...<BR/><BR/>"Lately, newspapers mentioned cheap airfare, I gotta fly to St. Somewhere..."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
