    Your enemy programmer falls from 17th floor on your brand new Audi and you don’t know whether to laugh or cry!

    Doesn't really seem like a glass half full/empty question to me, tbh. Option (a) The insurance company will replace the car Option (b) The HR department will replace the colleague. Option A is certain to be a slow process with a known end-point. Option B is likely to be a fast process with an indeterminate outcome. Think I'd just walk out of the office for the remainder of the day. Option A will suck, option B will more-likely-than-not suck. Either way, it's gonna take longer to get home tonight, may as well make a start! :-\

      The first four will cause a fair amount of damage to the car. But the last bit - is he supposed to hover?

          Not to my Audi, I don't own one so probably my enemy programmer will probably hover where I would have parked it.

              That is a sad story any way you slice it. My reasoning is that if you're driving an Audi then you're probably the bad guy. The real story is that you (the Audi driver) just implemented a code review policy that probably caused the one productive programmer in your company to commit suicide. You should be ashamed of yourself.

                Oh, you dont? I have one, it's in the showroom. I figured it's much secure there...from all these enemy programmers. ;P Also the parking is free, and did I mentioned free car wash?

                  Of course I do. I'm married to her. Any married man who claims they don't have a boss is badly misguided.

                  I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

                            Why the 17th floor? We only have three, plus a mezzanine level?
