      Only in the USA apparently. In Europe, we are revered as sex-gods.

      Does this mean you will be applying for the newly opened position at the IMF? :)

        Old girlfriend from high school friended me on Facebook recently. Haven't spoken to her in 20+ years. She asked me what I'm doing now. Told her I'm a computer programmer...that was 2 months ago...never heard from her again... Seriously, do us programmers have a disease or something? Next time I'm going to say I'm an international spy who drives a Maserati... :cool:

              After that amount of time, she probably forgot what a geek you were back then. You reminded her of that fact when you said that you were a computer programmer. :laugh:

                  Good to know. Is there a wiki entry describing this procedure? There really should be.

                                I received strange looks and comments in high school when I would program during our free "study" period. However, after thinking about some of my former classmates that I knew reasonably well, I'm one of the few who studied at a university and has a successful career. Not saying you can't have a successful career in some other field and without getting a degree, but many of my classmates lacked a drive to accomplish anything in life...at least it seems that way.

                                          Old girlfriend from high school friended me on Facebook recently. Haven't spoken to her in 20+ years. She asked me what I'm doing now. Told her I'm a computer programmer...that was 2 months ago...never heard from her again... Seriously, do us programmers have a disease or something? Next time I'm going to say I'm an international spy who drives a Maserati... :cool:

                                          rather than that effect, I get shock and surprise. Being 6'3" and around 280 lbs, I spent 20 years as an outdoor roughneck before getting into programming(and probably still looking the part somewhat), that is the LAST thing people expect me to say... lol its quite funny sometimes.

                                          Programming is a race between programmers trying to build bigger and better idiot proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots, so far... the universe is winning.
