>>>C'mon, Nadya, funny is funny. In this thread we are all joking about giving the wrong place of our residence to keep people like Andy and Marcia from getting us fired on whatever whim crusade they happen to be on. Sergey was just playing into that. I'm sorry what happened to you, and I hope it works out, but funny is funny.

>>I thought that the joke was funny. It depends upon which end of a joke you are on.

>It was... though, as it was directed to you, does it still matter? You mentioned retirement, but frankly my calendar needs new batteries, so I can't remember in which year was that :).

>And relative it is, just the way the relativity of time can be proven by having two observers on opposite sides of the only toilet's door. I'm positive that the time does not flow at the same speed for them.

>I've been there four times in the last six years. If I didn't make light of my own situation, I'd be in deep sh... depression. What good is losing a job if you can't even get a decent joke out of it?

>Last night the app my wife is using wanted to reinstall - got one of them free updates. Well, not exactly free, just included in the price. The author of the setup is probably a standard script kiddie or just an ordinary moron - the setup didn't read the previous version's info (except the registration, thankfully) so it again asked for the name and company, and there it was, one of the imaginary companies I created when I was jobless: "Will Code For Money, LLC" :).


There is a great deal to be said for maintaining a positive attitude regardless of what experience you are going through. Our minds can destroy us if allowed to or we can move past that reptilian that exists within mankind. If you want to succeed you cannot “cry in your beer”. Look forward and get on with life will reward you.

By the way I hope to retire within the next few months. At least I will retire from this rat race and go into a profession that I enjoy - music!
