Paul, you're a programmer, not a politician. It's not your job to worry about whether or not you're offending people. That's the job of people you are offending. At the point at which they notify you of their revulsion, you politely tell them to lick your back-door breakmaker.

And how did that work out for you, John ? :P

Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

... large-breasted hard-bodied secretaries that just drop by to chat (and provide the occasional underwear modelling session).
Manager: "How long will that project take you, John?"
John: "Probably the better part of a week."
Manager: "Tell you what - if you finish it before Friday, I'll send Miss Goodbody in here to chat and maybe model some underwear."
... fifteen minutes later...
John: "It's coded and tested, and added to version control."
Manager speaks into intercom: "Miss Goodbody, what are you wearing today?"

Is your company hiring, John? You sound like a master of motivation!

What you and I call "motivation" is commonly referred to as "sexual harrassment" by the rest of corporate America. They have no sense of humor anymore.
Every company should be required to have and fill a "floosie" position, to be filled by a young large-breasted hard-body that actually likes to dress provacatively at work and show off her, umm, assets at the drop of a hat...

So true!
Long before the PC era I had the luxury of hiring one... Stuck on a doomed project in a doomed company (it has since expired), it was impossible to get around the retired-in-place lifers managers who had to sign off and object to everything. One beautiful lady brilliantly schmoozed her way into the hearts of these miserable empire builders and made the paper flow! And armed with a fat checkbook and a '78 Pinto, she cruised the hundreds of electronics dealers in Orange county, CA, buying MIL-SPEC parts by the ones and twos, filling the production parts kits 18 months sooner than Purchasing could!
Wherever you are, Theresa, bless you! You saved my project...

Don't tell me you want the secretary position. 
|
|
|
|

Certainly not!
But if had my druthers, I'd happily work for a company that ran by John's ideas about reality - any day! He's a surly, rude bastard at times, but some times demand that sort of reponse, and too many managers are afraid to go there. I despise wimps and politically correct pansies - and any company John would be willing to work for I have to assume would be short of pansies.

I was actually joking about you applying for the position of the large-breasted hard-bodied secretary.

 Hmmm, I don't know about you guys, but I am not that interested in female underwear - I think I would look funny wearing it.

When you order coffee in Sweden, you have to ask for the cockroaches. If it's the other way around where you live, you should consider switching coffee bar/shop.

For me, it's plain old water. For the simple reason that if (when) I spill it all over my desk, I can just turn things off and nothing gets permenantly damaged or stained.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Its got to be Tea - pots of it.

On the clock  : start with a white chocolate mocha, day ends productively.
Off the clock  : start with a six-pack of Coors Original, things get a little usufructory, dissatisfactory, and I begin to cuss at my computer.
Seriously, there must be a happy medium between caffiene and alcohol?
