Dave: “A people hire A people, B people hire C people. Always strive for the most excellence. Never be scared to work with people who are smarter than you. Never be scared to let others be smarter than you”

Daniel: “I’d go one step further. The best thing you can do is to work with folks that are smarter, or have better skills than you. It’s by far the fastest way to get better yourself”

Steven: “Besides, working with idiots really sucks. I feel my brain melting away every day.”

Don’t think I could say any of it any better. I’m certainly keeping this in mind as I continue looking for new employment. I want to work with people who are smart, who I can learn from and who I can respect. Not necessarily tech-smarts either. Just people who excel at their jobs and inspire me to excel at mine!

    Not that the newsletter isn’t always useful, but I just read the latest Spyware Info and I highly recommend it. It’s got a little bit of everything, including bits about RFID tags, fake spyware tools, SBC’s appalling behavior in California, and a good argument for privacy rights in general. Good stuff.. Update: There’s been an…

    No there’s nothing like spending 45 minutes of a Friday morning on a conference call with a bunch of tech folks working for our ISP, trying to get some clear idea of what policies and filtering they have in place now, and what new ones are coming, only to come to the conclusion that we…

    Over at Doc’s IT Garage there’s a lengthy post about business needs, and using outside vendors as opposed to internal IT people and the view of IT from the top.

    Today is one of those perfect convergence days, where the first of the month, and therefore month-end reporting, falls on the same day as the first Monday of the month, which means the bi-weekly website database updates, with the added bonus of today being the last day before the election, spurring all sorts of last-minute…
