You are the intrepid one, always willing to leap into the fray! A serious character flaw, I might add, but entertaining. Said by Roger Wright about me.

I just had this habit of kissing a girl who sat next to me, every time some complicated bug was overcome or when something worked after 2 days etc... Apparently other people didn't appreciate this much. I wonder what could have been bothering them!!! Nish

;) It's easy to sit there and say you'd like to have more money. And I guess that's what I like about it. It's easy. Just sitting there, rocking back and forth, wanting that money.

Well I was once warned about public kissing! But then I guess they had a point. Other than that my work place is very relaxing :-) Except for the lack of bandwidth :-( Nish

Cool. As long as she didn't mind, then I see nothing wrong with it. Nishant S wrote: Apparently other people didn't appreciate this much. I wonder what could have been bothering them!!!

For example we don't have even partial nudity in our movies and even kissing is shown from a long angled shot. Michael P Butler wrote: Envy and jealousy Hmmmm. Yeah that too :-) Nish

I guess that's why India is so good at cricket, all the other fun stuff is frowned upon :-D Saying that, I'm not sure how people would react if I started kissing my coworkers (especially since they are mostly blokes). The English seem to have a problem with the friendly kiss - must be our Victorian roots showing. Michael Programming is great. First they pay you to introduce bugs into software.

This is what we call CI , coorperate identity, or better coordinated insanity... We have white walls with nothing on it, and it's not allowed to put a callendar or sth. similar on it, every chair is in the company the same, and: these chairs are so f...ing bad X| and lots of these things, it's CI....:omg: But all in all I like it here anyway...!:-D

Ethics and rules are two different things. I try to be a very ethical employee ( for exmample, I would not write a mag or CP article that exposes stuff proprietary to work ), but as far as rules go, where I work is pretty relaxed about things that don't matter for people who understand what does matter, and apply themselves to it. That's how it should be - we're skilled workers, not plumbers. Christian Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 During last 10 years, with invention of VB and similar programming environments, every ill-educated moron became able to develop software. - Alex E. - 12-Sept-2002
Sounds like your employers respect the workforce :cool: :-D Elaine (fluffy tigress emoticon) Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?

My bosses are also developers, and it's a young company. It rules. I took a pay cut to work there, and my last job was far from terrible, it was pretty darn good, too.

Of course, I´m not a "employee" from the company, I´m "contracted company", so I have no "employee" rights.

:suss: :rolleyes: :suss:Got a digital camera? Come in early one morning, decorate your cube in all sorts of ways that break the rules. Then snap a picture, set the image to the background picture for your workstation, and return your cubicle to it's former undecorated state.

Especially in the larger companies.

This is the kind of stuff really pisses me off. When will companies start treating their staff as human beings. Don't they realise a happy content worker will be more productive.

Christian Graus wrote: Ethics and rules are two different things. Absolutely. I have very strong feelings about ethical and honorable behavior. Surprisingly, my personal code which mandates that I ignore stupid rules rarely causes an ethical conflict.
