3 + 3 is 6 and 3 x 3 is 9. If you can get factors to multiply togther rather than just add, you can be on to a winner.

What I learn in my work I can use for related hobby / leisure activities, and what I learn in my activities outside of Well House Consultants' requirements I can use as appropriate within. We're actively encouraging of this - the term "skunk works project"s has been used, and thus the title of this piece. Helps us and our staff develop, though with clear notes that the result needs to be neutral of for our interests, and that it's clear that such projects are not done under the auspices of the company, but are independent. See our posting policy if you want to read further how we're encouraging this form of staff (and our own) development.
