          You asked

          Quote:

          What would be the first thing you do

          So I answered what I would do, not what you might do. If you have asked "what I would do" (meaning you here), I (me now), may have answered that there might be also tea in the cup :-D

              Put my feet up for a couple of days, and pretend that I'm catching up on my e-mail. (I'm really glad I use a "screen name" to post here)

              I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

                    If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

                          Long coffee break, then long-lunch, then another coffee break, then go home early.

                          «There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

                                        Long coffee break, then long-lunch, then another coffee break, then go home early.

                                        «There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

                                          Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
