Ah! Thanks Jeff.* I once got a surprisingly well paying job
(Systems Analyst II) at a pharmaceutical company by doing
something that didn't clearly fit into existing categories :P* I
had been working for a marketing dept as a temp but they had to
hire me under IT permanently because the systems I put together
in Excel/VBA became business critical and none of the marketing
or IT ppl could handle it :P Got to write my own job
description, they created a new dept under IT and got a new mgr
first who had to then hire me (fake ad for jobs - all those ppl
who applied that were way smarter than me) - and I went through
the hiring process... The IT ppl didn't like what I did because
it didn't fit into neat database design (and I refused to speak
IT lingo or be IT elitist to the people I supported) ...anyway
that was Schering Plough in the late 90s+early 00s. My whole
project is related to the 'categorization problem' itself: First
for myself and then, if I can find some universal patterns for
the things that are miscellaneous generally that would be a nice
bonus and maybe a few books out of me or maybe not. Anyway,
thanks for moving the file and for your unintentionally
inspirational words right there :P* Thanks again for your help.
