Just curious to know what your fear is of claiming 'Who You Are,' and then BEING that. I don't see how I have demonstrated any such "fear".
And maybe you ARE in fact... this very confused man who says to the world, "I AM Who I SAY I am NOT, in any given moment." ...or done this, either.
Ah. But... you sure do get a lot of ATTENTION when you are at the mercy of others, huh? Or at least when you can CONVINCE the world you are at its mercy... {nod}. seems a bit heavy on the drama. Lil says that "somewhere, there's a chili I can not eat", and everyone thinks thats so #%#ing profound.

as much as when I'm a "victim" of tooth decay, I'm at the mercy of the dentist.
I don't see how you are at his mercy. You and he are solving your tooth problem. well, thats just entirely contradictory. If, not being a programmer myself, I run into a problem involving programming, I'm at the programmer's mercy...yet, also NOT being a dental professional, if I should run into an oral health problem, and consult an actual dentist, that's "us" working on solving a problem? tell you what: the dentist is going to be handling the lion's share of that one, too. wtf? And if that is what you and your co-workers are doing right now... solving this problem TOGETHER, it would help a great deal if you just said that. we're not. The way you laid it out the other day made it sound like the whole thing was YOUR issue to solve. it is. small company, small department of individual specialists who collaborate in some cases, and not much at all in others. Kind of like "The Super-Friends"...work together for a common higher goal, but each with our own unique skills. Aquaman can't bend steel. what if you were a Network Engineer AND a problem solver same thing. and I will solve it. just not by my own figurin', in this case. I've done as much as I can do with it, by identifying and isolating the problem. The vendor will have to do the rest. to do otherwise would be a waste of my time and my boss's $$.
