      No tea or cigarettes, but I'm on about 10 mugs of coffee a day now. I get withdrawal symptoms after about 1 hour with no coffee. I need to give that stuff up!

            How old are you? The thing with smoking is that you don't have to worry about retirement because you're gonna die before you get the chance. how vital enterprise application are for proactive organizations leveraging collective synergy to think outside the box and formulate their key objectives into a win-win game plan with a quality-driven approach that focuses on empowering key players to drive-up their core competencies and increase expectations with an all-around initiative to drive up the bottom-line.

              Even i thought the same :) ...i dint expect a lot of current smokers but was under the impression most people would have been at some point of time in the past and might have quit

                  That explains it... In case you didn't know, smoking isn't cool in your 30s. Enjoy it now, because your gonna have to quit soon. how vital enterprise application are for proactive organizations leveraging collective synergy to think outside the box and formulate their key objectives into a win-win game plan with a quality-driven approach that focuses on empowering key players to drive-up their core competencies and increase expectations with an all-around initiative to drive up the bottom-line.

                            Not necessarily... See my post below about what I did in my younger years. I'm pushing 50 and I'm alive & kicking. In fact, in many ways, I'm in much better shape than I was in my 20s. :-D Author of The Career Programmer and Unite the Tribes Know someone who desperately needs to get a clue?

                                    Why did you stop? Seems like a good life to me.

                                        Yeah, and as soon as I leave New Orleans I am going to slow down to. Only been here for 30 years, in another 20 I am going to get another job ahd live a sane life. Well, insane perhaps, most likely, my next career. Cheers Wireless accesspoints in all the best bars.

                                          Truthfully? For the same reason that I make most of the changes in my life. I'm a creature of extremes, so I tend do things with great enthusiasm. Eventually, I end up having so saturated myself in the experience that it becomes boring, so I ditch it and move on to something else. I lived the sex, drugs and rock & roll lifestyle with abandon, but after awhile it just wasn't fun anymore and I was looking for something new to entertain myself. Why do you think I became a programmer? Certainly not to meet girls... :-D Author of The Career Programmer and Unite the Tribes Know someone who desperately needs to get a clue?
