This is something my friends and I do every week. This week what have you learned?

I've learned to never drink more then you rboss at a social gathering, and that even though he might not come in the next day, I'll still have to be here

I learned that archiving 40Gb of data out of an Exchange Server database doesn't do you any good until you defrag it.

I've also learned that ATMcards are junk...they have about a 2 month life span in my wallet...

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

That my 2003 GMC 2500HD is powered by Microsoft.

Earlier this week my ABS, Parking, and DBI indictaed that I was having a "Brake System Failure". The brakes were working fine.

I opted to turn the engine off, waited a minute, and started the engine again. All the lights and messages cleared. My neighbor is an Auto tech instructor and has a code scanner. We scanned the truck and found no codes retained.

In looking at the Owners Manual I found that it said (paraphrased) "In the event of a brake system failure notification. Turn the engine off, wait a minute, and start it again....."

Damn.

I had to reboot my pickup!

 

[Displaced MassHole]

I learned that the low gas light on my harley doesnt lie

Yeah, well some people like the smell of THEIR OWN farts as well...There's nothing surprising in the world any more

 

[Laurel]

I read 2 books on the Vietnam war and wrote 2 papers. I learned that the war was sad, the postwar government was ****, and that I'm getting very quick and turning out papers full of bull****.

 

[John Beere]

I learned to never smell my three year old's finger if he asks me to.

 

[Laurel]

And I guess that I have a dirty mouth!

 

[Dr_Deathweed]

I learned that systemic inflamitory response syndrome can present with both hyper- and hypothermia....

Way to be specific in your deffinition...

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

And I guess that I have a dirty mouth!

[the_bird]

I learned how to import data from my Bloomberg terminal directly into an Excel spreadsheet. Exciting, eh? Maybe I should write a blog about it...

 

[Cape Brewing]

I learned if you're gonna have a full divestiture of a subsidiary dumped in your lap, you better be involved in the negotiation of the P&S or you're f*&^#koed.

"Uhhh... we agreed to do what now??"

Trust me, that goes over like taking a dump on the cake in the middle of a four year-old's B-day party.

 

[shecky]

I also learned, again, why I despise McDonald's. Took the kids there for a promised lunch today and had some myself. Now, trying to work, I'm worthless.

I feel like that cake in Cape Brewing's lovely analogy.

I learned that if you click the magnifying glass in the search bar in Firefox, it does the same thing as hitting 'enter'
