    Just put my dirty dishes with my clean dishes! Can you believe that? Luckily I noticed just in time so I could clean out the dishwasher before the dishes mingled too much. Could've ended badly! Someone should really make a (thriller) movie out of this. Or maybe I should write a book. Don't know if I can take much more excitement today X|

    Sounds like a metaphor for picking up someone else's krufty software project, except there it's thinking the dishes are clean when you take them out of the dishwasher, eating off of them, and discovering you've acquired some creeping crud disease. Hmmm, ok, the metaphor doesn't really work. :) Marc

      If this was a software metaphor I'd probably take out the dishes only to find out they were all dirty and now I have to get an entire new kitchen to get out the stink :laugh: Nope, I was really just talking about my dishes!

            Another woe of a single middle class male is that he can't take a dog because he's not at home for most of the day. Getting a cat later this summer though :)

                You need to get out more man. People aren't supposed to rot inside all the time. Need that work-life balance. Build a life. Think with your p*cker and find some chicks. Anything to get out and enjoy the world.

                                    And if it was a Micro$oft house you'd need to start with an entirely new, unproved technology and a budget that was clearly a hallucination.

                                        Just put my dirty dishes with my clean dishes! Can you believe that? Luckily I noticed just in time so I could clean out the dishwasher before the dishes mingled too much. Could've ended badly! Someone should really make a (thriller) movie out of this. Or maybe I should write a book. Don't know if I can take much more excitement today X|

                                        Silly man; you're supposed to pile all the dirty dished on the counter and in the sink until the dishwasher is empty, and then fill it. Think of it as a mutex with the counter being a queue.
