I followed your suggestion and made a list. I'll forward it to my boss when I leave. Ha!<BR/><BR/>Beijing-- Thank you for the independent opinion. Your independence of the Ann-lobby is very impressive. Does this mean I have to get you and Hellmut a gift from my newly-gotten wages?<BR/><BR/>Hellmut-- I like your way of phrasing it: an investment. I guess you just have to know when to dump the stock.NFlandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284950332573759898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11231724.post-1168395911340415722007-01-09T21:25:00.000-05:002007-01-09T21:25:00.000-05:00Congratulatios, Ned.

I guess it worked out for him.<BR/><BR/>Most of us are not quite so fortunate. I suppose the question is if you can afford to turn down the money. If you can afford to go without it then find something better.<BR/><BR/>Consider it an investment.Hellmuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666302780491649128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11231724.post-1168392606841011172007-01-09T20:30:00.000-05:002007-01-09T20:30:00.000-05:00Money is good.

Not one.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I am not you, and you are not me, but think about this long and hard. Write a list of pros and cons. Weight them according to importance, and add it up.
