Post by liquidatorPost by Joe LI get your point, but it's kinda like saying you'd eat moldy bread before
eating rancid meat.
ROTFL OK- you win.
Not much of a bar you're setting though.
True- it's just different things bother different people- someone nice but
dishonest to me is ten times slimier than Phil...your mileage may vary.
Post by Joe LBut don't get me wrong, I'm not wishing to start a flame war, just saying
IME I've found out the hard way that one is far better off working with
positive people, cause as George also agreed with, skills can be
learned/taught, but attitude and/or character isn't something that can be
adjusted externally.
Nah- frankly- you make sense in your posts- I might argue with ya, but I
don't flame people who make sense- or at least attempt not to.
Arny Krooger expert in everything who makes so many basic technical errors
obviously makes no sense- how can one be an expert and make so many errors?
Simple- POSER.
Posers rank somewhere on the life scale between protozoa and rocks.
Virtually EVERY bad business deal Ive done has involved a poser. Many with
assholes have been successful- we both made money.
My definition of a good deal... I'm at a flea market- with an item priced
at fifteen bucks- you offer ten.
You walk away snickering to yourself you would have paid the fifteen.
I'm sitting there snickering that I would have taken 5.
If we are both assholes- who cares- no harm done.
I guess I'm thinking more of someone 'on my team' as in someone in a musical
group, or hired to work for/or with me on a project. Where as you might be
thinking as a contractor, you're gonna deal with a lot of questionable
people, at least ego or attitude wise. Sure, I come across that all the
time, I was just thinking for the people one hires or teams up with, given a
choice I'll take the less talented person if they've got a better attitude,
over the hot shot with the attitude any day. As in most jobs, raw talent
is great but perspiration is a huge factor in success, so the hard working
average talent is gonna blow away the lazy natural talent every time. Unless
you can find both in one person, and still afford them that is.
