After being forced to use Qlikview for a year, someone somewhere higher up in the corporate food chain has decided that Qulickview was a "grave mistake", and we're going to switch over to a competing product, called Tableau.
Training starts in late October.

Either it's time to pack your bags and move on or you have not suffered enough yet. Your decision.

"Celui qui a le dégat, se moque de toutes les descriptions"
Got there in the end, had to think in Dutch to get the meaning.

Mixing up proverbs or typical expressions and then translating them usually obscures the meaning a little.

Yes, certainly a phrase I have never heard of!

Nice. Back in the days of command-line cowboys we used to use a fortunes program a lot and I've been collecting entries for over thirty years. This is a new addition to it. Thanks.

The beatings will continue until morale improves. 
Have you been at your current cluster-![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) long enough to escape without making your resume look bad?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Over three years, so I suppose so. I'm shopping around.

That insidious thing made it into the bank and has proliferated into various departments, I managed to duck having anything to do with it. And yes they have decided to move on to the next thing - Microsoft power BI. With luck I may be able to duck that one as well.

There are Star Trek/Star Wars fans who wouldn't describe themselves as nerds.
There are nerds who don't like Star Trek/Star Wars.
Don't confuse the two three groups.

Nerdtyping: Looks like a nerd and behaves like a nerd, so what could they possibly be?

Then it's BSG, Babylon 5, Farscape, Serenity...

And let's not forget all nerdy unicorns...

The series was Firefly, the movie was Serenity.
(Yes, I'm after my pedantic points today)
(By the same token, I'm also showing just how much of a nerd I am).

The typo of the day jumped at me while looking over the CP homepage:
string EncraptedPassword = FormsAuthentication Let's try to use the new word in a sentence: If the password is not bad enough, we go ahead and encrap it.
Or:
All tests have failed. Who of you encrapted our code?
