<< I learned my work ethics
from my grandfather, who was a construction contractor for over 40
years. He always delivered on time and never over-billed anybody. If he
messed up, he would fix it. His word was gold and he knew more about his
business than anybody else. And most of all, he loved the work itself. >>
Now THAT's what I call a heritage!
Reminds me of a programmer I worked with whose father had been a steel worker.
That's how he did his work - every line a rivet or a bolt, every program solid
and carefully constructed.
