And did that end well for everyone?

Isn’t it a mixed bag?

Didn’t you just have a vacation?

Yes, but don’t I have my priorities straight?

Isn’t that entirely unfair? Don’t they have a lot of little fiefdoms back east? Like while on the West Coast you get NorCal vs SoCal, don’t those Easterners get all regional on you every 5 miles or so?

Is anything fair? Is my brand of racism better than any other? Where is god at times like this?

Here’s a question! See post 10701 above where I commented?

When I made that post, the new bottom number was 10701, so I thought it was post #10701.

So why, if you click on the time of that post at the upper right, does it day that it’s post #10745? Have 44 posts been withdrawn by authors?

Isn’t that possible? Wouldn’t that still leave the number of deleted posts less than half a percent?

Doesn’t everybody know it’s “New England” and “The South” ?

Didn’t I recently visit Tofino BC with an overnight in Vancouver to celebrate 20 years of marriage 6 months after the actual anniversary?
Don’t I want another week off of work already?

Hmmm, that’s a bad job-related (un)happiness indicator, isn’t it?

Won’t someone give our Tors a vacation?

Also… ???

Partially that but mostly stuff that will pass soon, as an avalanche of stuff that needs to be done all at once cause of oh need to update to redhat 6.6 ASAP or out of compliance, oh need to update to Rational version 8 too as version 7 won’t run on 6.6, and update to w2k12 as well, and then need to update the ESX hosts first as the current version wont do w2k12 vms… etc. etc. All on top of just general we gotta migrate customer to new stuff for getting out of old data center to new one and off of w2k3 as well. No nothing there that would make a person crazy at all is there?

Do you want to refactor the code I found this morning, nested 9 levels of conditionals deep, all inside of one 850-line method? Don’t we all have our own, private, hells?

Wouldn’t that be something I would just flee screaming in terror from?

What’s worse, an 850 line method or a three line nested recursive lisp function?
