RE: [amsat-bb] Re: Getting a job in AMSAT

I am with Larry on this.  When I was a snot nosed upstart
I just irritated the hell out of Clark, King, Riportella,
and everybody else I could until somebody told me will
you please shut up and do this.  Clark told me to do one
thing and Riportella told me to do another and I did them.
Immediately I was one of the overexploited volunteers.
Do it the same way.  Be a pest until you have figured out
something to do.

Please benefit from one person's experience and knowledge
of the organization.  Expecting somebody to come to your
door with a job and then whining when they don't will
get you absolutely NADA.  Be persistent, relentless, and
dogged.
