Francie, welcome and thanks for reading. I agree with you. I guess I do my best work for me. If I have a ‘boss’ that can figure that out and lead me that way, then he gets great work. Otherwise, I just prefer to work for myself.

Hey Kent! I know what you mean. I think learning is a key to inspriation. I wish I felt that way during my school days.

I really “cook” when the work is forcing me to learn something, when I’m working with a great bunch of people, and when I can see how my work will make a significant difference.

‘Course, the truth is I can’t really cook. But I often “cook” at work.

Thought I’d let you know you’ve upped your readership by one (so, at least 4 – yeah!!) I discovered you via JibberJobber.
Been silent so far, ’cause I’ve been busy getting my own Blog going and working on a Web site, among other things.

What makes me do great work? No, it isn’t pizza. I do love it, but think it’s more of a distraction.
I have to have:
1. a sense of personal involvement
2. some recognition for my efforts – more than monetary. I like a pat on the back, gettung credit for an idea, my name up in lights etc.
3. connection/common sense of purpose – feeling like the boss or client is on the same wave length.
