1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

I almost sent this one to you but didn't want to spoil the cultured high-brow attitude we have here on CodeProject.

I can't see the sun - it's been raining here for 24 hours or more now, and it's not due to stop until tomorrow.
The river at the bottom of the garden is "busy" - normally you can walk across it without getting wet - and it'll probably rise another meter or so if the rain gets heavier. Hopefully the town just downstream will be OK - it's been higher than it is now without flooding them.
The cat did not appreciate it.
Other than that, I'm fine: it's just another grey, soggy day in lockdown is all.

Right? I'm practically still drying off from the sheets of rain that were coming down last week, but we've had a few sunny days since. The air is still biting and cold but with some earmuffs it's simply ... brisk.
I've been able to resume my morning walks with my other half.

The neighborhood over here is looking like a swamp, especially the parts where new houses are being built. Hope the new neighbours like their swimming pools, it reminds me of an episode of "Location Location" where they showed a house with a swimming pool under the living room.
Luckily our plot seems to be well drained, no trouble here.

More obligatory Dilbert
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I recall an incident in which some colleagues had a video conference with execs, one calling for business attire. When they stood up at the end of the call, their shirts and ties were revealed to be complemented by Hawaiian shorts.

It is enlightening to find out just where they can sell that sort of stuff.
As for "complimented by" - obviously a jest on your part for an impossible scenario.
