vonSanta 0 #1 March 23, 2004 I work as a software developer at a very busy small company. The Head Honcho of the development department is a buddhist. Consider the following situation: Me: " "Uhm. Uh oh. Hm." Him: "Is that concern in your voice?" "Uhm...the bug I mentioned I had fixed? It just sent randomized letters out into an email form." Him: "Yeah? It did that before too. It's not very well behaved at all" "Me: "Nope. And I looped through the user emails in the database for that newsletter feature we talked about." Him: "That's interesting" Me: "Uhm. Ehm. Well, it is sort of interesting. I think all users just got a Love Letter from me" Him: "Oh. Maybe you should correct the error." Me: "Yeah." Him: "Love is good, you know". The Big Boss wasn't as impressed and forced me to do a "Sorry!" cleanup response. And put me on Support duty too . Buddhists are cool people. Patient, helpful, focusing on the good in man. And forgiving of major mistakes . Most of the people in leadership positions in the IT business tend to be either full of hype, out of touch or way too engrossed in their career - not this guy. He just does the Mantra thing. Oh, got the bug fixed in 20 seconds afterwards I then spent the food break discussing with him whether computer bugs couldn't be considered a future form of life, and therefore be accepted as a part of the whole General Mish Mash I like buddhists. It's not even necessarily a religion, but if I had to be forced into organized spirituality, buddhism would be the way to go for me Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
