That was a long nap for the hamsters - several hours at least.
Typical - while Chris is away, the hamsters will play...

It was weird. Some bits sorta worked on and off. I thought they'd just caught a very serious case of hamster Mondayitis.

Too late! I have plundered the refrigerator, taken the whole couch and my feet on the table.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Did you have to decode the password with the secret decoder ring they gave you?

Nap? Perhaps.
Unless, in the not too distant future, the hamster count abruptly increases with small (bit size?) hamsterlings. Nap? Really?

World Wide Sleep. Nobody here and I hear a subtle snoring sound. Probably Canada already looks like the Sahara. All trees have been sawed off.
As usual, I'm going to plunder the refrigerator, take the couch all for me and put my feet on the table until someone wakes up. Anything on TV?

Sounds good, I have got to do an interview, for the first time I get to be behind the table and ask the awful questions...

But they did not degrade you to the role of the useless HR guy who must justify his presence by asking the most moronic questions of all?
If you could be a piece of furniture, what would you like to be?

I think there is no correct answer to such questions. It's more about how you react and, if needed, an easy way to get rid of you. You simply 'failed' at that question. Last time I had that kind of stuff, they asked me what kind of animal I would like to be. Just what Buddha also asked me last tome around and I still did not get to be a Bonobo.

You can google how to shoot accurately all you want, and you can even practice, but truth be told, anyone can hit a stationary target while they're standing still. Until you're in a situation where you're actually runnin' and gunnin', and it's either you or "them", any true skills you may have will never be honestly tested.

I know nothing at all about Xamarin Forms....This isn't a programming question. It'a plea for guidance & direction.
Anyone know of any decent tutorials on Xamarin Forms VS2017? I've been searching/googling and all I can find is Xamarin Forms VS2015, which of course is entirely different (for the life of me I can't understand why). The templates and generated projects/code for 2015 are totally different than that of 2017 
Just now I created a Xamarin Forms VS2017 solution. It generates the projects. I do a build and get errors for various types, both build and deployment. It appears to me that it is either not setup/configured correctly, or it's just plain buggy.
I've tried this a few tims over the years with 2015 and now 2017, and I keep seeing the same thing. I follow a Microsoft/Linked In/Pluralsight tutorial and as soon as I try to build/run I get many different types of errors.
I can't seem to get started. What am I doing wrong? how do I get going on this?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.
