		<description>@James,

You truly are &quot;THE Man&quot;, and I like and respect you very much.  You certainly are not to be confused with &quot;The Man&quot; :)

Coffee... is there anything it can&#039;t do?

		<description>One disclaimer: While I am &quot;THE Man,&quot; I am not &quot;The Man.&quot; There is a distinct difference. One is that people actually like me. They don&#039;t like &quot;The Man.&quot;

Re: the post - When you work in my line of business, you learn to deal with everything going to hell, because the cycle of great highs and terrible lows is extremely frequent. It also cycles rapidly and achieves extremes on both ends.

Which make me think that web workers need extreme fortitude, so everyone who&#039;s alive here, pat yourselves on the back. Those who are dead need more coffee.

		<description>Dave,

Well you see... I was already heading toward a long post on procrastination, and what is a great cure for procrastination? Being motivated..But if I threw that in the mix, it would become a novel, so here I was, taking a break trying to solve my final puzzle to the post, decided  on a whim to check out your blog, and wala, you posted on motivation today. PERFECT!!!!! Synergy. I love it when it works like that.

		<description>@Dave,

I think &quot;The Man&quot; suppresses my freedom of thought and expression so much, that it just sort of bubbles up... everyone is so serious at work, hey, if you&#039;re not having fun, what&#039;s the point? :)

I tell ya, sometimes it feels like I work for Victory Neutrons under the watchful eye of Big Brother.  We fight a tireless battle against the evil forces of Eastasia.  Or was that Eurasia.  Anyway, no matter Brothers, it is doubleplusgood, chocolate rations have been increased to 25 grams this week.

(See what I mean?)

		<description>@Wendi - 
Glad this post was just what the doctor ordered.  I love when I head this was exactly what my readers needed ...

@Janice -
Same as above! :-)

@Bob - 
I understand completely.  I try to think of billable tasks as concrete things I will spend money on or things I will do with my family and that takes the edge off :-)

@Brett - 
Words fail me (but not you).  That last sentence was fantastic!</description>

		<description>Dave,

Right on.  I&#039;m not sure why, but I&#039;m thinking about lemons.  And my big boots.

For now, I&#039;m working for &quot;The Man&quot;.  I don&#039;t like working for &quot;The Man&quot;, but it pays the bills.  And, I still have time to get things aligned.  To scheme.  To plan treacherous actions, to be executed when the time is right.

&quot;The Man&quot; won&#039;t even see it coming.  And then, I&#039;ll do my Viking Dance, all over &quot;The Man&#039;s&quot; bald head.

(Well, not really.  I try not to burn bridges.  But it sounded cool...)

Good things come to those who wait.  Revenge is a dish best served cold.  Milk is a four-letter word.  Use it wisely.  And serve it cold.  Just like revenge.
