Pegs and Holes
There's an old quote, "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." which has been sticking in my head lately.
Often the right "peg" (tool/technology/person) for the hole (void, problem, need) isn't what you have or are most familiar with, but rather something else. Being aware of that is the hard part, and being able to mentally take a step back.
When dealing with technology/solutions/problems, you need to be as detached and independant as possible. But when you're dealing with people, that isn't really as easy as it sounds or even desirable, if not impossible.
Yeah there's a reason why I'm talking about the above, and it's all sparked from a conversation with a friend a few days ago... and if I explained more it would make sense. Just don't have the time or inclination to do that.
I made a gaff today- having to do with pegs and holes. I guess we'll see how it turns out.

I think you pegged me in the wrong hole too. Not that it makes any difference to the price of beer.
