      126 hours? Ouch! [edit:] or did you mean total hours till you leave, rather than time left at work?[/edit] I just did the maths and worked out that I've got about 57 hours left at work(Finishing work at lunchtime on the 20th) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

        Though a free bar can be a dangerous thing, as I discovered when I ended up with a cinqtuple (half a pint!!) Baileys at one point at a sponsored industry get together thing. Mmm, Baileys -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

          Next question is, as a programmer, have you set up a countdown clock on your desktop? :-D -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

                That reminds me - we had a Christmas Counterstrike tourney at work, and were encouraged to pick Christmassy names to play under. As I normally use "benjymous" (what else) I ended up choosing the alternate moniker of "(not even a) benjymous" :) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

                    Yeah, it doesn't really bother me any more. I've been using it as a handle for about 6 years now, and have met loads of people in real life that I've previously only known through the internet. Actually, I was at a friend's engagement party a while ago (who I new through the net, but had since met properly) and she was really confusing her real life friends by saying "oh, this is Benjy" to which I'd usually reply "Well, my name's Richard, but people call me benjy" (which tended to cause much confusion, especially when I didn't offer any kind of explanation!) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!
