Are we allowed to have more than one Sandbox draft open at a time? I've got one in there already I'm still working on, and another potential one that I think is much closer to being able to be asked on the main site.
@Green I know the feeling. I'm looking for more short term work rather than a major long term — do the specialty stuff but not get shunted over to maintenance after a few months.
@JDługosz My specialty is to see why things are the way they are, to see things as they are and to make an optimal plan for how to go forward. My current area of specialty is IT infrastructure architecture; the difficult matching of what the business tells you they want, to what they actually need to what the technology can deliver.
I've been spending a lot of my time thinking about why organizations make really dumb decisions and the incentives that are satisfied when those decisions are made.
...because the decisions aren't dumb to the people that make them. I'm trying to figure what their perspective is.
"Yes! one at a time, please." <- Capitalization of "one" (and a space too much I think) Very interesting start and I like the slogan :D I had to look up "corpsing", is that a well known phrase?
@Secespitus Works for me. Did you open the PDF, or just read the Adobe formatted page. Yipes, it looks awful for a non-logged-in user! I wonder why they use different engines for anonmous browsing vs people logged into Cloud?
@Secespitus So, you'll see the text is a lot nicer that way too! Actual truetype fonts rendered on your system.
@JDługosz Good question... There is always the "looking into mirror" option. Or you could for example have someone be a bit stumped when first seeing her and then she or Blue explains what is going on - in a marketing speech style advertising their brands maybe?
Mirror is one of those "don't" points given to writers.
@Secespitus Yea... from the "reality star" persona it makes sense to have an interview or something.
Starting the story when she goes off to college, she's around new people and gets a fresh start in a lot of ways. But I figure this scene is a ways into the second semester, end of spring.
@JourneymanGeek There's gotta be a way to avoid that outcome. I realize it will take some really careful management but there's gotta be a way to do it.
@Green -- yeah, the biggest problem for you would be remote/relocation though (my employer's off in the middle of the country and only rarely does remote stuff)
@Green -- could you give an old VAX the TLC it deserves? ;)
