They're begging me to. I've actually set myself up in a position where I work for a manager who basically gives me free rein and says "go gettum!" This way, I can divide up my time and make everybody a little happy, go 'round again and make everybody a little happier, stop and clean up my code, go 'round again...

The key is that I'm outside of any one group's pressure cooker. The Fab isn't any more political than any other large group, it's just a much more challenged group by the very nature of things. Which, to be honest, is what makes it so much fun to take this on.

Perl is a big asset for me here. When I can move forward in big leaps (even counting my time babbling on PM), things Get Done.
