Dang!
That means the guys down in Antarctica will have to do the complete setup for me again and I don't like owing them a favor. This will not simply be forgotten for a pound of coffee.

Such high standards you have for yourself. Someone wants that old man dead. He must be living a dual life. Why is he changing cars often when he does not even drive it?

My logic says that your car is invisible ... this is the only plausible explanation to this event.

I suspected something like that, but it's probably me and not the car. No idea why, but I always become invisible when I try to walk through the central train station here. Usually the smombies[^] don't see me at all, but they are easy to evade with their brain pacemakers in their hands and firmly plugged into their ears.

As you are a wraith, I assumed you were already dead.

If he doesn't insist on buying new, tell him you have one for sale.
Bonus: He knows the previous owner and how well he maintained it!

Best I can come up with is SNAPSHOT - but I can't justify it at all, and I'm pretty sure it's wrong.
I just thought I'd let you know someone is trying...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

It's 100% correct!
Bogies = SNOT
With an endless shape (SHAP) shifting (to APSH) within, leading to SNAPSHOT which is a photograph.

Are you sure you didn't make up the solution to fit my answer?

Absolutely, I would never do that until the final hour!

So the new job is great.
Cool team, SOA architecture, looking into microservices, scrum "by the book", lots of interesting technology sessions... And a commute that leaves me little spare time.
In the past few years I drove an average of around 600 km a month.
I now drive 1200 a week!
Including traffic jams that's three to four hours a day (or longer if I'm very unlucky)!
Compared to a 20 minute bike ride (one way) in my previous job.
I used to get out of bed at 08:30 to 09:00 and be at work by 10:00 and go for home at 18:00 to 18:30.
Now I get out of bed at 05:00, start at 07:00 and go home at 15:30 at the latest (rather sooner than later to stay ahead of traffic!).
Traffic controls my life now and it's the only thing I hate about this job.
Is it worth it?
Definitely!
Do I miss my old lifestyle?
Also, definitely!
|
|
|
|
|
Ouch!
Ever consider moving closer?
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, every day in the past week.
But moving is expensive and a hassle and I like living where I live.
If only I could live there for like two to three days a week...
Unfortunately, that doesn't make it cheaper.

Definitely! Give it time, three/four hours a day in traffic gets old pretty fast. best of luck in keeping your sanity.

Yeah, the first week was really bad.
I'm a bit used to it now and at least I know what to expect.
I can't see myself doing this for years on end though.
