>Really sorry to hear about your mom. I know you were close. She was a programmer, no?

Yeah, my mother programmed mainframes.

Recruiters were calling her up to the day she died. Several were fortunate (?) to get me on the phone. They were interesting discussions.

As much as I hated answering the phone, I actually got good at it and left a few guys walking with a limp. And I was gentle compared to my sister.
