26. ACH!
Now you DEFINITELY have my sympathy. The only thing worse than MS's solution is everybody else's IMHO.

Of course, I'm speaking as somebody whose main tool was acquired by Oracle a couple years ago, and has watched it slowly circle the bowl ever since then.

13. Isn't that always the way?
If you were incompetent, you'd leave work on time, never work from home and still draw a paycheck.

Being good at something just means you get more work to do.

16. Indeed, it seems it is...
Ah well, I have a job, and it's not so bad... maybe some year I'll have one I like better, but for now, this one will do.

17. I totally fell into my job.
Turns out I like it, and I'm pretty good at it.

Then they promoted me to supervise others. :scared:

But yeah, having any job in this economy is a good thing. 5000 laid off today at Microsoft.

28. Well, it's a step to bigger and better things.
I can handle it for 12-18 months or so. Plus, my people pretty much run themselves.

8. Racially insensitive joke warning
New Mexico Cowboy Whisperer


Cowboy: 'That your dog?'

Indian: 'Yep.'

Cowboy: 'Mind if I speak to him?'

Indian: 'Dog no talk.'

Cowboy: 'Hey dog, how's it going?'

Dog: 'Doin' all right.'

Indian: (Look of shock!)

Cowboy: 'Is this Indian your owner?' (Pointing at the Indian...)

Dog: 'Yep.'

Cowboy: 'How's he treating you?'

Dog: 'Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food and
takes me to the lake once a week to play.'

Indian: (Look of total disbelief)

Cowboy: 'Mind if I talk to your horse?'

Indian: 'Horse no talk.'

Cowboy: 'Hey horse, how's it going?'

Horse: 'Cool.'

Indian: (Extreme look of shock!)

Cowboy: 'Is this your owner?' (Pointing to the Indian...)

Horse: 'Yep.'

Cowboy: 'How's he treating you?'

Horse: 'Pretty good, thanks for asking, he rides me, brushes me down often
and keeps me in a lean-to to protect me from the weather.'

Indian: (Look of total amazement)

Cowboy: 'Mind if I talk to your sheep?'

Indian: "Sheep Lie"

30. Database compiles?
Edited on Fri Jan-23-09 02:45 AM by mwooldri
Try a new Linux kernel and recompile THAT on a i486 with 32MB of RAM.

Had to do that to get the soundcard to work many moons ago.

Have fun...
