>>>Then I came here and saw an even worse picture. After only eighteen months here, the list of people who worked for this company longer than I was as half as short compared to the list of people whom I saw leaving. In the end, there were only six people (four of them owners) left on the first list. In a little more than a year I achieved a de facto veteran status. The net loss can be easily calculated - multiply the number of newbies by average two weeks of learning plus about three net days of the time others have to set aside for teaching them. Add the number of weeks someone who announced a resignation still sits there and just cleans up the machine and writes the docs for the next guy...

Originally none of the various books had what we'd call chapters. Perhaps the Book of Psalms came close as each was numbered. They were added later to help people memorize the various verses. Many times a chapter will start or end in an incorrect 'spot' so when you read the Bible one is advised to read the context of each verse in relation to all the others immediately surrounding it.
