Getting a good job

This would be such a miracle to find here in the Louisville area. Instead, it's the opposite: when a superior has asked how I'm doing and when the answer has typically included "...trying to figure out..." then they think I've lost my focus and have gone off on a tangent. The expectation is that you've learned all you need to know, and now you're expected to regurgutate it upon command. And while that was bad in programming, it's even worse in support; my boss is an athelete, and since that's the paradigm he's most familiar with, he expects me to be working from some playbook: you know, 3rd down, 50 yards, use play #32. Sure wish there was an easy way to import that California good attitude here; maybe there's something I could drop in the local water supply? Ok, Echelon, I was just kidding on that last part.... -doug q
