Re: Update #16

Being an outsider looking in maybe I should keep my big mouth shut...
but then, that wouldn't be me.

Looking in at First and seeing whats happening I have to admit I'm having second thoughts about getting further into it. Especially from what Paul and others say there seem to be a lot of behind the scenes action going on.

Now correct me if I'm wrong or if you only think I'm wrong...
Sounds like FIRST Inc. is akin to our government... the powers that be spend all day coming up with ways of helping us and making us safer.
Thats why when you call them, they too busy to come to the phone. Leave a message and I'll assigned a staffer, to order an intern, to get a vol. to answer your message with a form letter and a request for a contribution.

Someone mentioned a union , while I personal hate unions I'm thinking having a elected by the users representative on the FIRST Inc governing rules making committee might be a good thing.

As for all the crying, and complaining about not having this or that....
alright go ahead and get it out of your system... done? Good.

A mark of a really good engineer or half good protronie is... making do with what you got. No band saw? Okay learn to use a hacksaw... get a few people to learn the proper way of using it so one persons arm isn't noodles by the end of the day.
Instead of crying about things not being fair and this is stupid...
Find a work around... find a way to do what you need with what the current powers that be might let you have.

Well good luck all...
