    ... for no good reason When I got home this evening I found my husband had bought me a big bunch of flowers, for no reason whatsoever. Needless to say it made my day (week)! :-D Anything nice and unexpected happen to you guys lately?

            Yeah, a colleague had to modify my code and he commented on how nice and easy to understand it was. That really made my day. Another colleague told me I was the only cool girl on the project, and that it'd suck if I didn't come back after I have my baby. Although I should have been "offended", I was flattered.

                                        Yes, that's how we end up at the point of paying $50 for rotting vegeetable matter, the point is we still don't get why it works. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 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

                                          Geez, how cool is that? Other than money falling out of the sky... We women do tell each other a lot, but I don't divulge info that could hurt someone's feelings unnecessarily. At least, I try not to. Kids are scary!
