My limit is fried potatoes of any kind no more than once a week.

Don't know about doing it as a blog, but having a portfolio of past projects and accomplishments is probably a good thing and not that hard to do if you start early in your career and update it as you go - wish I had done that since the beginning of my career since the first half of my 31 year career is now such a…

Agree!

Yeah, I have one (and it's not one of the more recent el cheapo Chinese copies) from the 50's. I got mine from my late aunt who got hers as a gift from the local egg-buyer. Back then co-ops gave out some pretty nice gifts to their patrons.

Faster, please.

I can't pass any of the big three tests when I'm sober - The HGN to due to eye tremors, the WAT due to physical injury of knees and ankles, and the OLS due to physical injury and the sheer pain of doing it.

Just remember if you are using tape, that you have to occasionally copy it from old media to new media as tape drive technology changes.

I have a never used box of OS/2 Warp 4.0 sitting in my office. It still is used within a lot of IBM (e.g. 3494 Tape libraries) and other vendor equipment which used industrial PCs as controllers. It was very reliable relative to Windows.

almost 31 years with the same company, however had lots of different jobs/functions over the years.

Next thing, they'll tell you to put the seeded toilet paper roll on a paint roller with an long extension handle.

My company has sick days if you are really sick, but you don't have a set number which you can bank if not used. If you're sick too much, your manager may take some action to encourage proper use if you may be misusing them.

You never know what you are capable of until you try.

I don't keep a "quick task list" - if a task comes in that takes less than 3-5 minutes, I do it immediately - if never gets to a list to have to manage. More than five minutes, it goes on a work list.

Similar issues - screwed up my right shoulder doing work unrelated to keyboarding. Due to the horrible design of the desk, the keyboard tray didn't have room for a mouse, so the mouse was on a surface nearly five inches higher than the keyboard. So every time I moved from keyboard to mouse and back it strained the…

I have a Thinkpad T60 running XP pro and I don't intend to replace it until Windows 8 is available and stable.
