Congratulations...
Celebrations over. Now go back to your rat-hole and start churning the code out 
On serious note, its good to hear about positives, as all over IT, they keep showing gloom picture of slow-down and budget cuts and all.
Enjoy your beer...
Thanks,
Milind

Well, a Pay Rise is better than a C0ck Up! Or is it now?

It's nice of them to try to soften the blow like that.

A couple of years ago I lost my sense of smell, and with it went a good bit of my sense of taste. Well tonight was 'leftover' night. When I got home the missus and the boy were out running an errand, so I helped myself to a big 'ol plate of tuna casserole (one of my favs). As I was about 2 fork fulls from finishing off said casserole, they came home and immediately proclaimed "What is that gawd awful smell?", yep you guessed it, the once fine casserole had seen its better days. I got a bad feeling, that in the not too distant future, I'll become real good pals with the crapper.

That would be a good bet, gook luck don't envy you!

Sounds like you better brush up on the proper incantations before you begin making the offerings to the porcelain god.
Honestly, I hope that their reaction was that of just walking into room and being hit by the smell of reheated tuna. For some reason, it always smells worse than if you are there while it is warming up.

I feel sorry for you, but that last bit about you becoming friends with the lav is hilarious.

To lose one sense, Mr. Jeron1, may be regarded as a misfortune. To lose both looks like carelessness.

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.

That means you can eat my girlfriend's food with saying it tastes like cr@p?
This isn't a signature

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

It sounds like quite the pissing contest. Time to show them all who has the biggest whiteboard.

Either it is intended misinformation, or we still have time until Skynet rules every last one of us.
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.

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.
