which really means "drawing nothing at all"....
so do I get credit for sitting there trying to think of something?
no.
the implied effort of thinking is usually not credited.
this is an inherent flaw of billing by the hour...
I can spend an hour sitting, seemingly doing nothing, but all the while thinking/brainstorming/processing, which makes my work (when I start it) go faster that if I just plugged away without anything thought, eventually learning what I would need to...
there is this constant fear of no progress.
results, results, results...
sometimes results are actually negative...
if people would only think long-term... (oh, but what about the budget?)
budgets suck.
and so do timelines.
and so does ranking people because, apparently, it is impossible for two people to be exactly on the same level...
... ... ...
whatever....
I charge that hour anyways.
otherwise, I would have to be here another hour (which I guess is what the man wants)
but I am not gonna let the man hold me down.
oh no, I've got to keep on movin'...
