(Confused)" /> .... meh.... (mini-rant coming on)<br />I have over 20 years of support experience in various industries, helped build one company from a 3 man operation (father, son, & me) to a point where an upset customer could mean losing a 1/2 million dollar contract.  I was on a team that built a national data network for a major financial institution where I had the access to delete the entire network, leaving no trace... even during the 45 days after I was told my job no longer existed.<br />I currently work in a group where following the process is gospel; process the customers within a given timeframe, say the magic words for Quality, and all is well.  Oh, and provide Sales with enough qualified leads that they manage to close on 3 per month. (You are held resposible & they average closing about 1/3... & most customers are trying to reduce their expenses.)  Efficiency is the rule, forget about giving the customer a reason to keep giving us money every month.<br /><br />What ever happened to respecting and valuing each other as people? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br />OK, rant over... time for sleep, up at 6:30 to start another day. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sadangel.gif" width="88" height="22" alt=":sadangel:" title="Sad Angel" /><br />(yeah, i'll probably change this tomorrow; hate being down.)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

"Uh-huhhhh...."  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rolleyes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":roll:" title="Roll Eyes" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Don't ask me why I did it ... I've ask my self too many times & I'm tired of hearing the question.<br />
Almost finished with my WP entry (got 2 out of 4 sizes rendered) and all my knowledge, experience, and common sense took a flying leap somewhere.<br />
<br />
I downloaded and installed the version upgrade of DAZ Studio.... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/no.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":no:" title="No, I disagree!" /><br />
<br />
after several hours i got it to the point where it would actually load a scene I'd created with an earlier version but after rendering TWICE as long as it took before it was only 64% done and had an error message in the render progress window (3Delight message #3 (Severity 2) T2040 'C:\Progra) which, of course means nothing to me except that something's wrong.<br />
so i thought 'OK, i'll just re-install the older version.'<br />
HA!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/thumbsdown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thumbsdown:" title="Thumbs Down" /><br />
so, what does all this mean kiddies?<br />
<br />
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER upgrade apps during a project.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/o/ohmygod.gif" width="26" height="18" alt=":ohmygod:" title="OMG!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

"My Lustsign is Unleashed Beast. I know how to make love, and i am the best. I have an everhungry apetite, and days and nights are not enough. Actually, i don't remember when i last didn't had sex for two days straight. My partners doesn't need to know anything. I am the boss, i am the teacher. Once i have someone in my bed, they usually beg to not to go. Most of my partners say that i am born to make love. But in fact, i invented sex."<br />
