re: The concept of "Mentoring"

Show up 10 minutes early. Even if you're an artist, it sets you up for success.

At a chemical plant, an old Vietnam vet with a Sam Elliott 'stache that did all of our data and voice wiring told me two things that I have used in many industries.

"Lemmy, product must ship, and people must get paid." There were a few more sentences that nicely explained in mostly four letter words that if I ever found myself about to do any IT work that would have an impact on those items, I should kindly and carefully reconsider.
