Have you tried a couple of drinks to see if that allows you to be at a urinal?

How did you survive high school? We were required to shower after gym class and they definitely weren't private shower stalls....

How do you survive? I would pee my pants on a near daily basis if this were the case.

As much as I miss overtime, it's worth it for being able to completely manage my own work schedule 90% of the time. Hard to put a price on being able to change your work schedule as you see fit. If I want to sleep in and show up to work at 8 or 9 or whether I want to start work at 5am at home in my pajamas and be…

Note to self: chop off hand, then buy travel tickets.

...even if it's crap as a daily drive.

I have all my cardboard boxes from every tech gadget I've ever bought...

stored away in my dad's basement, the sucker.

Yup! I'm a hoarder. I actually have my first PC in it's original box. A 486 Compaq Presario, in perfect condition, restored to factory settings, and including all documentation. Also have the monitor and printer that came with it. Probably should send em to a museum?

It's worth keeping these boxes at least for a while since you'll need them if you have to send it back, or once that window closes in the event you have to send it back to the manufacturer. Plus it's such a nerdgasm to look through all the boxes a couple of years after you built it.

I too have the habit of keeping boxes, at least for expensive stuff. Some I've eventually thrown away when I realized warranty had run out years ago, but there are probably still some 10-year old boxes gathering dust that I've forgotten about.

I use a Sharpie and label the boxes with throw-out dates. Usually the throw-out date is when the warranty expires. Really cuts down on clutter when you have things with throw-out dates.

It only makes you a hoarder if you end up keeping the old boxes 6 yrs after the PC part from the box has long since been sold, e-cycled or died and tossed.

Note to self: Never travel anywhere.

I do the thumbs up all the time in South America. It hasn't gotten me in trouble yet. Tough habit to break.

They're nice to have when you move too. I'm moving across the country at the end of the month, and all my computer's parts are going back into their original boxes with the static bags.

So true. I probably threw away about 15 empty boxes last week, but I still like to keep boxes of things I recently bought.

I traded them in to get the next model. The DS line is probably the only system I've done it for since I could keep using the same games.

I also tend to hold on to game console boxes. I know on my floor is the one my Vita and my iPad came in. The HP Touchpad box is probably on the floor somewhere too, and I was kinda happy when I traded in my old DS for a DS Lite, and then a 3DS that I had the boxes they came in.

I'm 90% sure that as of up to maybe last year, every box that all the parts came in are in my closet. I may have tossed some of the smaller ones so I could put stuff inside the biggest box. But in there was like, the box the keyboard and mouse came in, the graphics card, the sound card, the CPU, everything.

I may or may not have a bunch of boxes from my first (and so far, only) computer build from like, 06 in my closet. I should really toss all of that, the desktop isn't even in use anymore since it sorta crapped out.
