  • Sometimes, I really, really weary of programming with a language and in an OS environment that was obsolete 20 years ago.

    • I enjoy looking out the window of my home office on clear days and seeing the red-tailed hawks circling while catching thermals to soar higher. A hawk in flight, to me, is a thing of beauty.

      • Why is it that every time I begin a home improvement project, even a minor one like swapping out an old light fixture in a bathroom for a new one, that I end up going to Lowe's and dropping $40?

        I take down the old fixture, and there's no outlet box, just a wire coming out of the wall. I should start a thread called "This Old House."

          • I really like having use or lose annual leave. They make me take time off.

            I may be small, but I'm slow.

              • I work for a large multi-national corporation. The people on my floor are 100% white collar types.

                On the wall next to the urinal in the men's room are several boogers. Who are these people?

                  • Sometimes I forget just how tasty dr pepper is. Then I drink it and wonder why I would ever even bother with any other soda.

                        My problem with Dr. Pepper (and root beer, for that matter): I am an alcoholic-in-training enjoy a mixed drink from time to time, and nothing mixes well with Dr Pepper (and root beer). Amaretto doesn't ruin a DP, but because it's a cherry flavor, it doesn't add anything, either.

                            • I wonder how gangs choose their name. Like the Jets and Sharks in WSS. It cracks me up that they followed the naming conventions of a sporting franchise by choosing a random object or animal. I much prefer the old school Italian method of naming your criminal organization after your family.
