[quote=flu][quote=The-Shoveler][quote=ltsdd][quote=The-Shoveler]LOL this is why FIRE is actually a problem.

Your meant to pursue happiness not achieve it.

Else who is going to keep everything running.[/quote]

If pursuing happiness is your goal then FIRE is certainly one way that would allow you to do so.

For many people work != happiness – it just simply pay the fvcking bills.[/quote]

LOL I think you guys missed my point entirely,

It not about you being happy (or anyone’s happiness), it’s about having the best and brightest remain in the work force not walking on some beach.

While the remaining (not so bright) screw up everything trying to keep everything up and running LOL.[/quote]

I look at it differently….because we have all the not so bright trying to run things at a cheaper cost, things eventually do get screwed up…royally….

And that creates opportunity for people like me and the people I work with to clean up the mess that most other people screw up, which ends up costing a heck of lot more money for them to fix because they end up having to pay a lot more people a lot more money both undo the original screw up and to build whatever they were trying to build.[/quote]

Shoveler – Hear ya.

Flu,
Been there done that, playing hero gets old really fast. And then at some point, you’ll realize, WTF, these dumb asses are the smart ones b/c they collect the same, if not more, pay as you do and produce next to nothing and no real consequences b/c of it. You playing hero adverting disaster for the project/company and get a few pats on the back and some extra $$$ for it, but guess who made out better? The rock stars, overachievers are actually the dumb ones.
