Back in the 80s I had a six-month contract that lasted two and a half years. And the best part was that they paid me to learn new stuff that none of the permanent staff wanted to do.

I remember the 80's, start High School in 1981, start work in 1987, lunch was several hours at pub couple of times a week except Fridays where it was the entire afternoon when you might come back at 16:30, put in a quick 30 minutes of work and then come in Monday and look through your working code that you don't remember writing.

"I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you". The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible."

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
