I...Well, Wenjer, 12 step programs are big business. I think they started with AA, continued with Narcanon and God-knows-how-many support organization. Twelve is a number with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_%28number%29#In_religion" rel="nofollow">great significance in primitive Western religions</a>, and these programs have a very real religious tone to them, even if they are usually fuzzy about it.<br /><br />I've already hit one exit as of two days ago. I'm officially a staff PM/translator as a way of getting better backoffice support as noted in a different post. Not much changes, really, except that I get better access to some cool technology and occasional invites to penthouse grill parties (tomorrow), but it will give me a little needed simplicity in my life for a while and let me focus better on translating and writing, less on endless administrative mazes.Kevin Lossnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727800526216764023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-75849452878132295502010-06-03T13:42:53.425+01:002010-06-03T13:42:53.425+01:00Hi Kevin,

Do you have an exit strategy yet? :D<br /><br />Honestly, I like peanut butter for breakfast and I play monkey from time to time to get some peanuts for making peanut butter.<br /><br />- WenjerWenjer H.
