Far as I can tell, you can't get downvoted on SO - if you're not prevented from posting at all, then your posts get deleted altogether.
It just so happens that yesterday I wanted to add a comment to a question, but apparently I don't have the reputation points to "comment". But, I was able to post as an answer. Of course, my comment was not an answer so I fully expect my response to be gone by now...

Hi All,
It's Thursday always found the odd, at School we had sports (or being yelled by a Welshman, early) at Uni we had high voltage labs (or ozone and bad language, early) now get to work and the Network has bust between buildings. Too close to the weekend for comfort, not close enough for 'I'll do it Monday...

I often find Thursdays to be my most productive (okay, "busiest") day of the week since I try to avoid starting anything big on Fridays, and it's still too far away from Monday to put anything on hold until then...and this is often when I'm trying the hardest to get something off my plate for the next week...
It's all about Thursdays it seems.

Being a contractor right now, the fact that one of the permanent is rather, let's average, is good for me, logically... It makes me look good! 
(and since they pay me a truck load, I can't complain  )
Despite that, I found it sometimes tiresome, it feels like he doesn't now how to read code and want me to do his work occasionally, when he got scared by some piece of code and also sometimes butcher perfectly fine code into a buggy monster, sigh...
I have to strike the delicate balance between being helpful and teaching what I know, and tell people to leave me alone...
Oh well... I guess it's a growing experience, haha, just wanted to rant!

The pay package also includes some teaching salary and damage compensation. 
Press F1 for help or google it.

For the permenent, yes (he is 'average' not 'dull', right?).

In a similar situation although reversed; he is a contractor, I am the permie-burger! He's enthusiastic, loud and hasn't yet learned to wait before interrupting my flow of thought, but he's a nice guy who may succeed eventually as he matures and learns.

I might have a different opinion here that the Contractors are smart people and those who are really good at doing things can only turn into Contractor as its more rewarding than the regular job and an average contractor would eventually start doing a job after sometime.

That's one of the side effects of being a contractor as they expect you will have solution of every problem that they have created or not able to solve.Super Lloyd wrote: I have to strike the delicate balance between being helpful and teaching what I know, and tell people to leave me alone...
I'd call it an Art  so how do you balance it anyway .
You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.

I will commend you, just for naming Landau!
That said I have no clue if Landau is very readable by the layman.. all I know of him, really, is second hand account from my physics teacher (when I was studying physics at uni)!

Thanks.
This is a book for kids. There are a number of illustrations, though all of it may not be understandable in one reading. Needs about two or three readings. The chapter on Capricious Clocks is very nice.
