Brain Pickin'

Plugging in…

What do doctors, lawyers and computer consultants ALL have in common?? No, there aren't any jokes including the three professions! But, the general public finds their brains so fascinating that they are frequently asked by friends, family and complete strangers "can I pick your brain" for a minute, hour, week, etc. Sometimes we're even offered a meal, as in "can I pick your brain over lunch?".

As flattering as it is for someone to want to get inside our heads, it is also the area from which we make our living. Knowledge is king, so it is said. But how does one think the knowledge gets into the head? Time. Time is the delivery system associated with knowledge. And time is how we bill for our "brain dumps".

While the sharing of general knowledge is a wonderful thing, it does not pay the electric bill, nor will it provide a tank of gas for the vehicle in the driveway. So don't be offended if on any given day a doctor, lawyer or computer consultant tells you their hourly "brain pickin' fee"!

"Brain pickers, brain pickers, you'd better give in because if you don't stop our heads may cave in" for lack of any information left inside them!!

ALWAYS REMEMBER: before calling for help - is it plugged in, is it turned on?
