A project was failing miserably and the CEO went to the Project Manager to ask her what happened. "It was that crusty old Team Lead you made me hire! He constantly undermined me." The CEO and the PM then called the Team Lead into the big CEO office and told him he was fired for fumbling the project, and all the Team Lead said was: "Oh really?" Some years later, as the company was sinking, the CEO was trying to sell off the intellectual property that the Team Lead had developed. Problem was that nobody was left to help the CEO document the code so that it could be sold. He called up the Team Lead and ask him to come help sell the code, telling him that it was a horrible mistake he was fired and that he was almost obligated to help. All the Team Lead said was, "Oh really?" -- Zed A. Shaw, MUDCRAP-CE Master Black Belt Sifu http://www.zedshaw.com/ http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/ http://www.lingr.com/room/3yXhqKbfPy8 -- Come get help.
