Ouch! That might just leave a mark. Surprisingly, it only lasted a couple of eventful hours, the microbes must have had that Usain_Bolt[^] gene.

Probably!

I get that from the missus alot, she'll make things now that I didn't like before this happened and simply say, "What do you care, you can't taste it anyway..". As an added bonus, I also get full time puke (boy and dog) clean up duty, "What do you care, you can't smell it anyway..". Gee, why didn't I think of all these wonderful things when this first happened!

I don't know what is going on around this place today, everyone is running around, going on about white boards and versions numbers.

The managers are grumpy, the minions are mumping.

Think it is time I sacked them all and outsourced this lot overseas...

That's the last time I come into the office during the week Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Then the usual question : is an android shaped really the best one for a robot ...? Might be that they failed at some basic requirement engineering.

He doesn't have a whiteboard. Or an office. I'm now not sure what is up and what is down any-more, and I can't even count to 50.

Got rid of the whiteboard. Word looks about the same. I like sticky notes and small pieces of notebook paper.

White Board

I've moved the white board outside of my office where everyone can see it. I heard through the grapevine that Tim overheard a conversation about this and was concerned that neither I nor another developer were up to date with version numbers. I know developers can't se past their own little project but I've got 50 running and the other managers I'm covering for were let go when it came out that they had no idea what release numbers even meant!

So, everything every developer needs to know is on the white board.

Tim: time to update your resume: you're also fired for spreading gossip.

I knew a bartender that could have 50 people in her bar and once she served them their first drink she could make them all another at any time without asking what they were drinking again.

Doesn't seem like that much to remember. Employees go to their supervisors for a reason. The supervisor is supposed to know these things. Greater responsibility comes with moving up the ladder.

I'm with him 100% on the sentiment. FIL was lucky, they just morphined him up and let him go without fuss. The MOFU's that prolong lives that are already over deserve to be kept going. With spikes.
