Once Scotland leaves the Union, England will never be good at curling again.

Yeah, England is no good at that (in fact I don't think we even have a team, do we?). The UK is pretty decent because Scotland is pretty decent.

That's probably the real reason the PM doesn't want the Scots to say "bye-bye"!

Had to visit several sites today, and had stress and trouble at them all.
I am now ready to kick someone in the face.
Still, soon be Gin O'Clock and I have a weekend of playing and watching golf.
No CCC as my brain is fried.

Imposter syndrome? Here's hoping it gets better. ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Avoid the kicking, whoever you hit might just kick back with a vengeance and ruin Gin O'clock + the weekend.
Consumption of an extra gin (or beer) is probably a much better option.

Did you get their autographs at least?
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

No, I most certainly did not.
I was fortunate that I made it my first port of call so as to minimise my chances of meeting them.
(I did have a sit in the Gondola of the airship though, it has a kitchen, a bedroom and a toilet as well as the flight deck!)

... before Easter! On holiday next week, hopefully enjoying sunshine and relaxing time. See ya, suckers (in a couple of hours anyway)!

Have a good holiday. Send us a postcard, if you think of us.

We are only off on Monday 21 April

Good Friday is not a holiday in your country?
I've taken 4 days of holiday time next week, most people are still at work. But we get two national holidays around the Easter weekend, even if you don't take holiday time.
Ed: still at work because tests are currently broken

Its a national holiday From Friday till Monday but not all companies take all the holidays across the year, they pick up 15 days only from the national holidays we have during the year.

Being a software programmer is one of the best jobs these days for your pocketbook and your job security, but it can be incredibly bad for your mental health.
Two things are going on that are literally driving programmers crazy.
One is something known as the "imposter syndrome." That's when you're pretty sure that all the other coders you work with are smarter, more talented and more skilled than you are. You live in fear that people will discover that you are really faking your smarts or skills or accomplishments.
Women programmers frequently confess to suffering from imposter syndrome, and that's not surprising. The syndrome was actually first documented by psychologists Dr. Pauline Rose Clance and Dr. Suzanne Imes as a particular issue for successful women. It's also the subject of a number of self-help books geared toward women.
But a lot of male programmers increasingly say that that they feel it, too.
These people tend to apply extremely high standards to themselves and not to others. Imposter syndrome is common in professions where the work is peer reviewed. Writing software is just such a field, particularly open-source software where anyone can look at the code and change it.

Thanks to my boss I am sure I will never suffer from this again.
The last thing he told me was : Do not use foreach for this list to interate though the items. Better use linq....

i guess knowledge was not the reason why your Boss actually became your Boss... 
|
|
|
|
|
Hahaha this is good one 
I sometimes let resharper to change pices of code to linq as he advises, just to enjoy the result for a while and ctrl-z it back
Sure - 5-6 lines of code became one, but perfectly readable code vanished...

You've been reading the same articles I have.
I think I suffer from Imposter Syndrome or at least have in the past. I am more confident in my skills now but I say in programming or software development keep an open mind. A person may have more experience than you on a certain aspect of a project or vice versa.

"Two things are going on ... One is ..."
What is the other? The suspense in your post ... 
I think what you describe is true in most areas where there is a high skill level, for some people. I always feel insecure in that regard in work, academia, sports and any team scenario like that, though only a bit (to the level where it drives me on, not makes me fearful or paranoid).
