Unfortunatey, Sombra is right King Kamza. In the army it's the kiss of death to be "invaluable" at a particular job.
Ps. Good on ya for being good and taking pride in what you do, it's surprising how many people don't.

Just watched a bunch of TED talks while having my lunch. Some of the speakers and their work are so inspiring. I feel a bit better about humanity now (though that feeling will fade as soon as i head into town).
While i love the science talks, I find myself being more inspired by the people merging artistic/creative sensibilities with engineering solutions. There are some great talks about urban renewal on the TED site.
But, my favourite talk is probably this one, which i've watched a few times, about the problems with how we educate young students today. The speaker, Sir Ken Robinson is an awesome public speaker, and manages to make his points in an amusing but poignant fashion. It's well worth a listen.
Be warned though, it is approx 20 mins long.

Wellll, at least boss agrees with me they guys in Switzerland are doing a shabby job. It's small solace, but a solace nonetheless. But then, why pay an agency to make a template when we [or rather, moi] end up redoing it anyway?

I tried to keep the quote going but the forum said 'NO!' Apparently you can have only so many blocks of quotes

Had a long due encounter with my good friend Jack Daniels...
When a man lies he murders
Some part of the world
These are the pale deaths which
Men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear
To witness any longer
Cannot the kingdom of salvation
Take me home
