when i used to get in too deep i had a magic formula:

2 nydol, 2 no-doze, 2 ephedrine tablets

the problem remains, but you wont even know your name.

loss of ability to maintain accountability = victory

I generally find a bigger hammer.

This one's easy to answer...............
I call Jor.

well, ultimately, i took a little advice from all of you.... I kept pretending to know what i was doing, it broke, i fucked aorund with it some more, i made it worse, i blamed someone else, and then i flushed the ARP tables on my neighbor and everything started working again... i always forget those things...

Well, I've been in over my head in water countless times. Usually I came up on my own. At least once help came that I didn't ask for, but desperately needed... Sometimes I nearly drowned for losing direction.

I've been in over my head in mud. That quite nearly killed me, too. I'd rather not relate any further details.

I've been in over my head in snow, and quite honestly, I can't recall it ever being life-threatening. It's happened pretty often, now that I think of it, and it was always a pleasant experience.

I've been in an open grave well over my head. No lasting impressions there.

I've been buried up to my ears in sand more than once, which isn't so bad until a wave decides to roll up your nose.

That's about all I can remember. I had to have help in water once, mud, maybe the snow, definately the grave, and only in the sand after the water turned it into concrete. So, usually I act like I know what I'm doing and I can get out of it myself.

'Zat help?

Well, I was gonna say "Never be afraid to ask for help."

But your way works too, Jor. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Seriously though, there's no shame in asking for assistance. I'd rather ask for help and get it right than be too humble and do it myself, only to have it get fucked up even worse and get all the blame. Plus, if you get help, and it still goes wrong, it's not all your fault anymore.... [img]wink.gif[/img]
