I just realized, I've been working for 6 years now. Started on 01-09-2004*. Switched jobs only once - and what timing that was! 3 months after I left, they sold themselves to Big Bad Financial Institution That Shall Remain Nameless, which fired more than half the employees. Working has been many things to me, but it's been very challenging, and I like it a thousand times better than college. How long have you been working? * Note to Americans: over here, we write dates correctly. ;P
Added smiley - there's something wrong when a tongue-in-cheek comment garners the most responses. And yes, yyyy-MM-dd is way better than any of the other two formats.

I had to get out a calculator for this. Let's see, 2010 - 1978 = 32 years. When's my retirement party? Hope I get an invite. :)

Different parts of the world??? How 'bout different parts of America? This place is one big, diverse, complicated disfunctional family. Frankly, I'm surprised we can even understand each other. :)

TV stations should stop broadcasting Miss USA pageants outside this country. That way the pea-brained idiots who think Australia is in Europe or that The I-Rack is a vacation destination won't be used to stereotype the average American. :-D

You Southerners need to get your accents straightened up. I mean what's up with saying stuff like y'all! :rolleyes: The intense irony in a South Indian saying this is hopefully ignored so that my jibe at Southerners takes precedence over my accent. :-D

I just realized, I've been working for 6 years now. Started on 01-09-2004*. Switched jobs only once - and what timing that was! 3 months after I left, they sold themselves to Big Bad Financial Institution That Shall Remain Nameless, which fired more than half the employees. Working has been many things to me, but it's been very challenging, and I like it a thousand times better than college. How long have you been working? * Note to Americans: over here, we write dates correctly. ;P
Added smiley - there's something wrong when a tongue-in-cheek comment garners the most responses. And yes, yyyy-MM-dd is way better than any of the other two formats.

Really? I have no idea if you mean January 9, 2004 or September 1, 2004. And nobody else around the world will know what system you're using either unless you specifically tell them. My mission is to get people to use the ISO 8601 date/time standards[^]. It would make life a lot easier. Cheers, Drew.

Ability to define proper date format[^] Just kidding of course.

yyyyMMdd?
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?
Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)Absolutely, beats the pants off the other two formats. But of dd-MM-yyyy and MM-dd-yyyy, the former is better any day.
