Re: Your frank opinion

exactly, i spent a 12 hour day yesterday dealing with some problem w/XML but quite often my boss will walk in and my feet are propped up on the desk and i'm surfing the web. Her term is: "We send all the weird stuff to Joe, thats why we pay him the big bucks". So she doesnt mind.

Everyone have a good weekend.
