I know that the minions know when I'm not there. Apparently there's an increase in joy and happiness.

... and how does Joy feel about this?

Have you ever noticed that women called Joy have much less of it than normal people?
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Not as good as Rosie. Apparently people feel Rosie all over.

That's because there is a Whole Lotta Rosie

Indeed, she is a whole lotta woman.

I remember last Christmas, we had an office party, and everyone was feeling Mary. So she got up and left... and everyone jumped for Joy.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Yes, you can have an unauthorized day off.
But, some seniors didn't want to take ideas from the juniors. And, at the end of the day, they will come with the idea (which is the junior's idea) and someone will take the credit.
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

Not sure what this means as I work from home almost all the time now.

Is there something you would like to talk about?

Growing old may be mandatory; unfortunately it is not guaranteed! Be careful out there!

I'd rather a wild life than a careful life. That's how stories are made. When I finally do die at the ripe old age of 120+, I fully expect pats on the back and high fives at the pearly gates for being stupid and reckless.

Probably not. I'll just have to spray paint some pearly gate graffiti in hell and pretend then.

I must have had a different childhood, taking an unauthorised day off school would have resulted in fairly serious (for that age anyway) repercussions from my school and parents. And surely it's a guarantee to get caught, schools take registers don't they?

Depends how cunning you are, how good at faking letters or phone calls from parents, how good at conning your parents into leaving you home alone (the Ferris), how good you are at sneaking out of school again after registration.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

The freedom that come with being a grown up can be great, if you know how to use it. It seems that almost no one does.
You can basically do whatever the hell you want, as long as you don't exceed your budget. Here, I'll help you:
- eat ice cream every day.
- don't finish dinner but have dessert anyway. (or just skip dinner)
- in fact, don't skip dinner: you're eating what you want anyway.
- stay up late.
- don't wake up until lunch. (or later!)
- play video games all day. (and night)
- eat and go swimming right after. (the cramps are a myth)
- run indoors.
- run downhill.
- run anywhere. You're an adult, most people assume you have a good reason for running and don't interfere. protip: don't have a good reason.
- or never run, because lazy.
- do whatever. The only rule is to avoid negative consequences.
And none of that "b-but responsible!" crap. The best thing about being a grown up is that other peoples' ideas about what being grown up means are irrelevant.

Probably you will have seen my last post about a dying hdd...
I've managed to recover all the information in a HDD that was having strange behavior:
When I tried to access it the computer become hang for several seconds, sometimes I was able to continue working with the HDD and sometimes the HDD disappeared from "My Computer".
Now that I've got the replacement HDD and I've passed all the information to the new one, the old one is working as expected... I've checked it using chkdsk and no errors have been found, now I'm formatting it using NTFS (slow) and everything seems to go fine...
Is there any way to diagnose it properly?
Now it looks it works...

Thank you Dave, at the end I did not had time to check all that information and I was lucky enough to be able to recover all the information from that possibly dying hdd... now after installing a new one it looks like everything goes faster and it looks like that there are no problems at all...
When I'll get enough time I'll use your and others suggestions to check that HDD and who knows if I'll be able to use it again somewhere...
Thank you for your feedback!
