    I usually don't read programming themed cartoons, or cartoons at all, unless someone posts an "obligatory Dilbert." Marc

      With no bio, I can't be sure - but if it is assumed that you're new to this business, then as soon as you get some real experience (and possibly slit the throat of a user and/or manager or two) you'll understand. If not, there's always a job selling artisinal ice cream treats to grouchy assholes. You need to worry about cartoons there, too. click[^]

            Quitting isn't your only option, you know. Drinking heavily and often is another. Or, if you're in Wales, you could raise sheep for, erm... recreation.:~

              For you, I updated my bio. There is a reason "anal" appears in "Artisanal". But I like ice cream, but at my age, you might not enjoy me eating ice cream.

                            I believe that having a sense of humor and getting programming jokes are mutually exclusive concepts. I don't believe one can have both. And you are exaggerating. I'm pretty sure I've made at least 10 comments here in the last 9 years.

                                      You misunderstood! It doesn't matter if the customer is Canadian or not. If the developer is Canadian he/she must remain polite at all times. Even the bit about speaking crossly to those who deserve to have their face microwaved took a special vote of parliament and their mother's permission.
