New I feel your pain
I would much rather deal with upgrades of Perl or just finding bugs than be a manager.. I'd rather program Apache modules (something of which I've done nothing to date). Program SQL grammars. Try to fix someone's miserable ODBC drivers. Fix bugs.

Manage? (runs screaming into the night)

New If nominated I refuse to run ...
I turned it down. Tactfully. Once I did that, my boss told me of another position that's more of a lateral move. System imaging, library and distribution thingie. More money (not as much as the manager job, but not as much crap either), more flexible schedule and more autonomy. I would be in charge of all system image builds and determine company standards for every end user pc. Direct report to the company operations manager, and no one reporting to me (yet).

P. S. anyone know where I got the stobor nickname from? I dropped it just because.

New Generic monster name in a Heinlein book?
They dumped kids on an unsettled planet for training purposes, and warned them about stobor. They assumed that there would be *something* nasty that the kids would run into. "Tunnel in the sky" sticks in my mind, but I'm not sure...

Regards,
Hugh

New Bingo!
I thought that was a neat story. A little to simplistic for me now, but quite enjoyable when I was in sixth grade.

New Heh. My nick on eBay is
fairwitness. No [-]s yet - and some recognize the allusion, too - more women than men (!)

Yup - in our ethically-challenged snake pit - what Murica needs more than a few more $T is, just a few fairwitnesses. Everywhere.
