Three times...

That's the most number of times I will answer the same question in one day -- hell a two hour span. I don't care how you re-word it. I'm presently the one and only programmer at work. I have a list of stuff I need to do. Answering the same question over and over the same way isn't a way of getting things moving along any faster.Likewise, rewording a request to see if I'll give you a different estimate for time isn't going to work either. You can have things done right, or you can have things done fast. And getting it done fast often takes longer anyway.
