I've never fired a consulting customer, but I did have one I turned down any further work. Their notion of "net 30 days" was "whenever I remember to do paperwork"  . I had to stop work on the guy a couple of times to get paid. It wasn't like the source of the money was a problem (largish university), he just hated dealing with ... paperwork.

Yup that is firing a customer.

I laugh and  - the financial stability of a consultant sucks. Changing to a contractor may have taken my autonomy but the regular pay packet was wonderful!

truth - as a consultant (all of you can chime in) I have found you take care of your network. we call these co-workers and friends who have their balls hanging in the wind with yours.

Try raising your rate first!
With all of switching around, they probably lost the original agreements.
Send them a new agreement to execute.

yeah, I pointed that out, but I have a plan....

To follow up my rant, Rick you owe me a beer. I'll buy the next round...
this morning came the team meeting call. I drove home the point - image is image. 1 == 1. The new VM is not equating to that. Explain to me what your definition of image is? Well, we migrated it... (after 3 months of copy the elephanting server ffs).
For what it's worth, I understand why the did what they did but "not appropriate for the lounge".

I almost had it at the third try but the word I used wasn't in the dictionary. For a good reason; I thought it had 5 letters but in actuality it had 6. The word was rejected, I didn't locate several letters, wandered off and then finally solved the puzzle.

The Windows 11 "taskbar" is disgusting. It should be at the left of the screen, with real icons, with text, progress, etc. They downgraded my developer PC to a bloody iPhone.

I kept wanting it to stop so I could find out what was being done. And waiting for one of the worker to turn and raise a middle finger.

If an airplane is positioned on a conveyor belt as wide as a runway, and this conveyor belt is designed to exactly match the speed of the wheels, but moving in the opposite direction, ...
Can the airplane take off?

Not a joke. A question asked by my friend, for which I am not aware of the answer.
|
|
|
|
|
Degree in physics, as if it mattered: No. The lift depends on airflow over the airplane wings. There will be none.
|
|
|
|
|
Certainly true - as long as you don't fire up the engines. But without the engines running, the plane won't lift even on a normal runway.
The engines will push the plane up to speed, creating that airflow. The push is unaffected by those free-running wheels spinning like crazy - the plane accelerates just as much, wheels spinning or not.
|
|
|
|
|
The engines don't directly cause the airflow. The engines push the airplane, whose movement through the air causes the airflow over the wings.
