Oh, and to answer Andy's question, YES, I'm a "get it done" employee, and my boss know it. At least, all indications are that several levels of management know that, because if it's on fire, it will likely land on my desk. And regardless of whether it's in my area or not, I'll figure out a way to either fix it, or get it in the hands of those who can fix it.
