The kids are running around the house making an enormous racket, shouting "Let us in Dad it's faarrrkkkking freezing" mainly.

Be patient - after all they are kids only (and in a few minutes they will freeze over anyway)...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Put headphones on and turn up the volume...usually Metallica works well!

That's not not nice, I say let them in and light a fire with them. They will soon warm up when the flames start licking around their ankles.

Have you thought of connecting them to some sort of generator? You could probably get quite a current generated from them.
[edit] I just realised the genius of my suggestion - you could loan them to CP to replace the hamsters, for a while, so that the hamsters can go on a much deserved holiday.

Hey mates,
lately i got presented some Design-By-Contract programming stuff which sounded not that awefull. So i thought i check it out and gained some info about Spec#. Sadly this seems a little older than i thought, but i wanted to give it a go and try it out. Then i found out the .NET Framework has Contracts within, so no need for Spec# anymore?
Currently i don't really get it, is this all only for static code analysis? Has anybody tried it out and can recommend it or is it just a timewaster?
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

Hello everyone,
Very recently (last week) I was demoted from my leadership position within the website team. This has come as a blow for me. Being in a leadership position is something that I have worked very hard to get, but maintaining that has been equally challenging. This has been my first position in a leadership role, so I know I have must have made many rookie mistakes. Some mistakes I know I will not make again and others I don't know what I should have done differently.
My biggest upset comes from my supervisor who I thought I could trust to help me "learn" how to lead a team. But communication between us has been falling apart for about two months. He wants me to "get it done" whatever that means in particular situations and seems no longer interested in mentoring me. I guess the mentoring part hurts the most because as I mentioned before being a leader is what I have wanted for a long time. I used to be a bit of a shy guy and this goal I set for myself really has helped me to trust in my vision and trust in my voice. Having someone to mentor me really meant something to me to work together to not only make a successful product, but helping me to learn how to rally workers together to accomplish the day to day tasks.
Lately (the whole weekend), I have been asking myself whether I should put away this dream or to learn from this and grow (how do I grow? I have no clue. Still need some one to mentor me). If I choose to continue down this path I really do need someone to turn to for advice. Further, I highly doubt within this company I will be allowed another opportunity like the one I have received. If I choose to let this go then I need a new goal to strive for and at the moment I am clueless to what that goal might be.
So I ask all of you have you been in a position within your career you were denied something you have desired? If so, how did you overcome them? Or how did you reevaluate your goals to see if it was "right" for you?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. The pain of this situation still feels raw to me because that's how important this leadership position meant to me.
Thanks.

If leadership is what you want then don't let one "failure" get you down. I'm sure you learned a lot from this experience.
There are lots of books on leadership. Also, do what other successful leaders do. Find some successful leaders in industry and study what their habits are.
And practice makes perfect.

Thanks for that. You're right I shouldn't let this get to me. Trying not to take this too personally.
That's a great idea about reading about leadership of who I admire. Going to look into that.

So many CEO's and politicians has taken this to heart. Whenever they fail they just move on to greener pastures to mess up the next company or organization that need some shaking up.
At least Op got some experience leading and can avoid the same mistakes in the future.

ok, get a different mentor. One who is someone you want to be like. Someone you do not report to. Let me state that again. Get a Mentor but SOMEONE YOU DO NOT REPORT TOO. A mentor should be someone who is interested in your best possible outcome. not someone who has their own agenda. A Supervisor is a bad mentor. they have their own agenda for what they want. Even if they might be awesome as a boss.

Glenn is awesome. He has been mentoring people in IT as they move into Leadership roles for quite awhile. He is good at it. Go read some of his stuff. I highly recommend it.
Then pick someone close to you. That you look up too that is not I repeat Not your boss.
Enjoy life. You only get to do this once that I remember.

I learned that lesson the hard way and I truly believe you're right about agendas. Many lessons learned.
I will look into Glenn Brooke from that link you have posted.
Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Agreed on getting a mentor who is not your supervisor.
Is there someone in the business who you can see has the skills you want, could you approach them as a mentor? Also does your company have a concept of 'practice' versus reporting structure so, in your example, perhaps a team leader community of practice or a practice lead where you can get help?
