Wednesday, February 11, 2004help! My new employer: "Yo Patrick, What gives? Are you still alive or what? Give me a call or let me know when a good time is for me to call you to discuss the program." Me "urgh..." I've been contracted to do some database work and I'm very tempted to flake out on him. Not necessarily good business tactics, but I'm wearing a little thin here. Maybe you could help me decide? Pros A wad of money could be mine My professional ethic will be satisfied Much material satisfaction could be had from my huge wad o' cash. Cons I may fail. I might not deliver in reasonable time. I might succeed only to fail in my classes or on my Master's project. This project may be drawn out interminably. I could go insane (unlikely) I might start gibbering to myself non-sensically (very likely any time now) What should I do?.... I mean its a wad of money! At first I offered an exorbitant $50/hr price to dissuade him. Then the crafty bugger offers me a huge lump sum to build and support the database. For how long one might be tempted to ask? BIG WAD of money long, would probably be the answer! photo by Christy Granquist Archives06/01/2003 - 06/30/2003 07/01/2003 - 07/31/2003 08/01/2003 - 08/31/2003 09/01/2003 - 09/30/2003 10/01/2003 - 10/31/2003 11/01/2003 - 11/30/2003 12/01/2003 - 12/31/2003 01/01/2004 - 01/31/2004 02/01/2004 - 02/29/2004 03/01/2004 - 03/31/2004 04/01/2004 - 04/30/2004 05/01/2004 - 05/31/2004 06/01/2004 - 06/30/2004 07/01/2004 - 07/31/2004 08/01/2004 - 08/31/2004 09/01/2004 - 09/30/2004 10/01/2004 - 10/31/2004 11/01/2004 - 11/30/2004 01/01/2005 - 01/31/2005 02/01/2005 - 02/28/2005 03/01/2005 - 03/31/2005 04/01/2005 - 04/30/2005 05/01/2005 - 05/31/2005 06/01/2005 - 06/30/2005 07/01/2005 - 07/31/2005 08/01/2005 - 08/31/2005 09/01/2005 - 09/30/2005 10/01/2005 - 10/31/2005 12/01/2005 - 12/31/2005 01/01/2006 - 01/31/2006 02/01/2006 - 02/28/2006 03/01/2006 - 03/31/2006 This site owned & Copyrighted by Patrick Chen. |
