you can tell it

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Wow! Sounds like a great rig. Have a blast in the coming week.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

It has its downside too... I have to go to check up and getting my 2nd shot, so if anything goes sideways I will have to manage solo too.
But I hope to not have any secondary bad effects

Good luck with that. I was a little tired the next day but nothing else. I had an app for that.

If right, I'm just relieved. It's only the second one in about 2 weeks I've got and I kept quiet that time as I couldn't do the next day.
Tomorrow however is good although apologies if it's slightly late.

 Just wow. I thought this would last a lot longer!

Ah, off the hook, I see OG beat me!
Just happy to get one right!

Oops, got that wrong though.
So I guess I am up tomorrow but just been summoned to the office so what could possibly go wrong ...

ENTRANCE!

I don't get it... sure, door = entrance. But what about "carry away"?
It is meant to be in relation to the other definition of "putting in a trance"?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, entrance someone = carry someone away.
|
|
|
|

Carry away == entrance:
Definition of entrance (Entry 2 of 2)
transitive verb
1: to put into a trance
2: to carry away with delight, wonder, or rapture
we were entranced by the view

- but only in the most trivial sense ...
So, having thought myself "cured" and decided I had written my last program, I found myself with boring and non-urgent jobs to do today.
And the thought struck me of a trivial weekly task I have that does take 5-10 minutes and needs my brain to be semi-working.
This involves some very trivial arithmetic and some date/time calculations. I decided a simple Winforms app and an absolute max of 1 hour to start, finish, publish and forget.
Combine rustiness with, surprise, surprise, an eternity playing around with foreground and background colours, font sizes, layouts etc (I do hate boring grey forms!) - 2.5 hours later ... 
Until tomorrow when I use it in anger and decide all the above needs changing, probably for no good reason.
That was definitely my last program. Honest.

Next, you will need to create a project management program, to keep track of how much time you spend twiddling colors! 😄

I doubt it. Programming is like heroin, or pop corn, once you start you will never stop.
As to time scale estimates, it always takes longer than your most pessimistic estimate. Project creep is my biggest enemy.
No plan survives the battle.

Nope, I retired and I have deployed 1 small app in 2 years, rarely open vs and then only to apply updates (I have no idea why). Oh and I dislike popcorn too.

Decades ago I quit programming because it was lo longer a challenge to me.
I moved into the world of networking and eventually became the IT manager of a medium sized company.
3 years ago a need arose where some coding was required. Nothing big. It couldn't hurt, could it?
I am now coding full time.
Nothing succeeds like a budgie without teeth.

This is my life. A tale of two worlds at continuous war. I started out in networking, admin and application support.. Opportunities arose to learn and contribute to the applications.. The development became a lucrative career path. 17+ years later I find myself looking for "the last program" and it always seems to be n+1. lol
