A) a kludgy grammar.
B) forcing you to explicitly do things that should be implicit like implementing a method of an interface through a public method, or comparing value types and reference types without worrying about "Is" vs. "="
I will definitely agree that VB's syntax is kludgy in some areas such as lambda and anonymous functions. On the other hand, being forced to be explicitly identify interfaces has a lot of benefit when verifying the correctness of software. Ambiguity is the enemy of correctness.

Well in that case they should make you redefine a class every time you use it so you verify the interface is what you were expecting. 
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Today started with my coffee machine taking its own life. As I have an emergency backup, I still managed a cup of getoutdahouse.
Then Mrs Wife offers to drive us in as 14 had an exam. The car broke down. We got it back from a service on Monday and think it's related.
Finally the kettle, I am reliably informed, has joined the coffee machine in electronic suicide. Maybe they had a pact...
So car's back in the garage.
Coffee machine repair organised.
New kettle purchased.
Oh, new job too.

Congrats on the new job - no wonder you can afford to splurge on a new kettle!

new guy's start with pens and maybe a stapler. Be brave!

I suspect he might get away (literally) with it on his first day, but it might raise some questions once everyone recognizes his face...
Would have been safer to grab the coffee machine from his old job
