Me too.
Way too much.
We just dropped 550.00 usd on an AKC registered black lab pup.
Other things like haircuts are on the back burner while we catch up.
All the pup does is bite pee poop and follow me around like I'm momma.
Ain't gettin much done these days either....

Haven't had a flu shot but one other day in my life and got one today at the VA and I fell like crap. Feel like I've got the flu and all I want to do is sleep, moan at my aches and pains and stay near the loo.
Why did I get this shot again? arg...other explicative's!

Why did you get it? Do you get the flu often?

Got the 3 day flu last year not bad and it had been probably 3 years before that I got my last but when I get it I can't do anything for 3-4 days and as I'm getting older they say it's more dangerous. Oh hell it was free.

If it was only 3 days it wasn't the flu.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

One might suppose that the post wasn't suggesting that the symptoms were all gone in the period of time but rather the worst part of it was. Which could mean it was the flu.

One day of feeling like crap is totally worth not getting a 2-3 week flu with the weeks of coughing afterwards.

I've never heard of anyone getting it for that long. That's bad.

YMMV. I get hit really hard with them, so a flu shot is totally worth it to me.

The same thing happened to me last year and lasted two (or maybe three) days. When the symptoms went away, it happened very fast - when I started feeling better, everything just lifted and within an hour I was fine again.
I have gotten the flu shot several times before without getting any symptoms, so I guess it's just one of those things. Anyway, I do think it is preferable to actually getting the flu.
Just hang in there.

A friend of mine asked me to speak with a another friend of his, who's going through a difficult financial time right now. He's been working as a programmer for a local college for the past 10 years, but apparently, it doesn't pay very well and he's looking for advice on how to switch to a higher paying, corporate career. I think his biggest problem, is he's been doing this single career, inside a university, his whole life. He doesn't really even know where to begin.
I'm going to speak with him tomorrow & I have some personal advice I can offer but was wondering if anyone can offer any additional advice or experiences I can pass over to him? Things like what are the best ways he can land a new programming career? What should he work on improving? Etc. I'm not sure yet which languages he's skilled in but I do know he needs to find a higher paying job sometime between now & the next 9 months (hint hint). With it being a college career though, my "guess", is that he's using Java.
I'd appreciate any advice you can offer. He's a great guy whose just terrified about being not able to provide for his family right now, so I'd love to offer any advice I can.
Thanks

He should probably be current in programming language skills (perhaps too current), but one of my pet peeves of academic people is that they teach coding in a way that you are writing a program from scratch, using perhaps some libraries but otherwise your own code, and always from a fresh start... "original authorship"
The reality of programming in industry is that you are going to be part of a team working on code that is 10 years old, with a mix of good stuff and garbage that other people wrote, with their own coding style and suite of bugs. Most code in industry is maintenance. Average lines of code per day in college can exceed several hundred. Average code per day in industry is around 8 to 12. For aeronautics, aerospace and NASA lines per day is way less than 1.0.
Also, when you are working on a 'real' program, there are a lot of other activities you do besides code.
Windows 8 is the resurrected version of Microsoft Bob. The only thing missing is the Fisher-Price logo.

Not if you're at a software publisher, or consulting. Then it's tappity tappity tap, click, facepalm for hour after hour. Followed and preceeded by documentation, naturally.

Sounds like my current work, it's painfully slow....
I might be able to speed up that in the future...
