Hey Trace,
Here's a commentary on your having an assistant:
I noticed that when you wanted an end achieved, at first, you first in your own head thought out how you would solve the problem, and then asked me to implement the solution. This doesn't use my brain too. There are two types of assistants, Carey and me. She needs things the way you did them, the no brain way. I can offer an alternative: a brain that will achieve the end you wanted faster if you don't ask me to implement your solution instead of your end. Neat. Thought you might find that interesting.
Later on the other hand, you caught on to this as it happened, and I suspect you would come to entirely rely on my brain to choose implentation of end if given time. Two brains instead of one. Different people would enjoy different types of assistants. Which do you like? Certainly the Carey method is easier. A good Carey-type assistant follows orders perfectly. I don't know though that such is possible because questions always arise. Working with a good Carolyn-type assistant must be learned over time -- where are the Carolyn limits, and misinterpretations. Ah well!

Cool Point! I much prefer your type of assistant as I would rather work with another brain than just a body that can take and implement instructions. But you must take into account that I am not accustomed to help, or any assistance of any kind! You recall how freaked I get at having any help at all! eg. "Wow, that was soooo much easier than I expected! Thanks sooo much!" Half the time I don't know what to do with it!
Cool. Up for a Movie monday? Freebie movie night! I would want to go to a late afternoon showing if that works for you.
