Sometimes I pretend...

[Pi]

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her, I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a '64 Impala.

Coincidentally, I heard an interesting statistic along those lines the other day: there are actually 8 resurrections described in the Bible, and Jesus only performed three of them. Don't know whether his own counts as one he "performed" or not though.

...sometimes, as an escape, I pretend that I am some one else.

...sometimes, I pretend that I am way less important than i am.

As if I never worked F/T at 5 pre-product early-stage companies. As if I never started my own company and sold it. As if I haven't been working in my niche market longer than anyone in the world. As if I didn't spend several years building and deploying a product that my new employer hopes to compete with.

Otherwise, I might interfere with people doing their jobs. Jumping in on every conversation is too tempting. Pretend....put the headphones on for a while....

Smart feller.

I'm in a strange situation at work. I had a falling out with the CEO of my ex-employer; the new company hired me as a contractor right away and is figuring out a F/T position for me. I might be an individual contributor, or might be the Software Director of the engineering managers. My case for directorship is that I have more experience with what they building than anyone else. It's an all-star company, so one has to make a strong case.

Just show up dressed as a woman , , high heels , fake boobs and all that will set them streight ( ???? )

Thanks for not overshadowing us all. There's no doubt that my personal cummulative life experience and financial success is of no significance but I meet people every day that try their damnest to try to show me how smart they are and how important they are not by what they mean to others but how they go on and on and on about how great they are in one way or another.

It gets old quick.

It does sound like you've got many interesting experiences and a lot of information to contribue and I look forward to having us all at the Cellar believe that you are indeed important for the friends you make here, your opinion and suggestions on a wide variety of topics.
