Some thoughts on consulting ...

A piece of advice for small businesses outsourcing their IT to consultants: If you have a consultant who is doing the job better, MUCH cheaper, and faster than the previous one ...

... don't nickel-and-dime him on the bills. It's the fastest way in the world to get yourself tagged with the 'troublesome client' label. And if your business is dependent on those machines being up and staying up, you really don't want that label.

One would think this would be common sense. One would be wrong.

The saddest thing about common sense: it isn't.
You'd think that I'd have figured this out by now, but I am constantly surprised at the amazingly wide-spread utter lack of common sense out there.

Pity that greed is far more prevalent than common sense.

It is rather sickening- the idiocy of those businesses. I mean- it has been proven time and again- "You get what you pay for." Shotty worksmanship is most likely to happen in those cases. I wonder how long that kind of thing will put those companys out of business...
