Old Celt,

It is time to get some of that optimism back! Don't let the b******* get you down. Nothing wrong with being a realist (except that being realistic with management can effect your raise or employment status.) Finding a balance is important. I'm a firm believer in the concept of continual improvement. Even if something has been done that way for ages...there is often a better way of doing it. That is where innovation comes from.
