>>That's life. I just move to the next contract as quickly as possible when
that happens. I'm too old for that stuff after all these years of Tech
Writing. IMHO it indicates a newbie manager who is not going to allow me to
do what I do best, so I don't extend the contract. Life's simpler that
way.<<
Those were my thoughts exactly on that contract. Needless to say, I didn't
take the contract when it was offered. Over the years, I've developed less
patience with that kind of thing, and now, such clueless questions from
people barely elicit a response on my part. As you said, life is much
simpler when you don't take on the responsibility of responding to every
dolt-issued question...; )
