It's not a bug, it's a feature!
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

I think that @Chris-Maunder should have a contest where the winner gets a dozen Idaho Spud Bars[^]
What say ye?
Note: The Idaho Spud Bars are *really* inexpensive at the moment so, now's yer chance, Chris!

The Clif bars just don't cut it sometimes, do they?

I tend to hit these[^] pretty hard, and these[^] while on the bike.
And yeah, I'm sick of 'em!

I've used the Gu a lot when training for marathons, but I've tended to use Clif bars on the bike.Chris Maunder wrote: I'm sick of 'em!
Agreed. I was riding my first century, and couldn't eat any more of the things after the 4th.

I find cliff bars harder to get down when you're in a paceline, especially when you're in a pack that's going hard and so you have the danger of breathing in crumbs.

I can see that. I tend to ride solo, so haven't run into that problem.

I had some Idaho spuds recently and they weren't that great, so I don't get what all the fuss is about.

You're supposed to slice them thinly and deep fry them first.

I about lost my mind with a co-worker today.
The analyst wanted help fixing a report. In the process of evaluating the situation it became clear that the 'Post Date' in the report is being used two different ways. In once case it is the date the transaction is entered into the bank's system and in other cases it is the date the transaction was entered into our system. Whether you caught that or not, the important point is that the same field is being used in two related, yet ultimately different ways.
As you have undoubtedly guessed, the report is based on the 'Posted Date'.
Even the dullest among us can understand why it would be challenging to get a monthly report to balance.
Regardless, I couldn't get the analyst to understand how this design flaw is going to cause nothing but endless grief for years to come. I ended up just throwing a couple of ideas on the table and gave up after that.

Oooh, That'll be fun to track down in a few years time!
I think he's planning job security: obscure, intermittent faults that he already knows will happen but will take ages to fix when they are discovered!

Can't spell "analyst" without "anal".

Right after lunch the analyst approached me with a spectacularly bad idea to fix the current report problem. The plan to fix it was laid out before me and I just nodded and smiled. When asked, "Is this how you'd fix it?" I answered that she should just do what she felt was right.
I'm not wasting my time with this anymore.

You busy with other stuff? If not, then it might be a good investment to invest some time. Most people aren't crazy enough to try again after being dismissed.

You're correct.
