It might make you seasick (and me too). But, I'd love to try.

I've learned that you can totally get away with drinking beer at work as long as you buy enough beer for everybody (only really viable in a small office though, and only really on Friday afternoons)

At a previous job, every Friday afternoon was "Relax with Maxxx"
We pooled our money each week to buy a case of beer, which was put in my office on Friday arvo. (my office was off in one corner, away from teh maddenning crowd) and folk would come along for a beer or two.
All very informal, no invites, all welcome.
Was great fun until a couple of peopel decided that it should be part of the 'social club' activities, moved it from my office and after work!
we went 'underground' and carried on our own "Relax with Maxxx"

Hi all,
Another milestone in my Qatar adventure today. Filled up my 4x4 for the first time. 65 litres and it cost £10.44 or 16pence/litre!!
UK can poke it!
|
|
|
|
|
That's around what we would pay in the UK if it weren't for the tax, and the tax on the tax.

How much is the petrol in UK? Here in Italy it costs 1.6€/litre, ~1.14 £ with the current change.

Around the same, 1.54 euros per litre.
|
|
|
|
|
|
And on top of that, individual localities my add additional tax.

What I find interesting is big differences between some bordering states. I bet you a lot of people living in California close to the border with Arizona, pop across the border to fill up. So Arizona pockets the tax some Californians pay on gas - tax that should have been collected in CA! Weird!

I have a long commute, I know where to pick up the cheapest gas. I think people do that without even realizing why it is cheaper in the next county.
I used to live in a city on the main distribution path for the gas stations. We actually had the cheapest gas in the state. Then, one day, the city council decided they wanted some money... our gas prices spiked overnight

Well, bureaucrats always know how spend your hard earned dollars better than you ever can! Pay your taxes with a smile, like this:

Nice! If I did the math right that equates to about $0.89 US / US gal.
I paid $2.16/gal this morning or about 2.4 times more than you.
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

Oh well, yesterday I paid 6.38 $/ US gal, about three times that. But our salaries are much lower, around 20K/year for 15-years-experience IT professionals...

Ouch! If it helps my daily commute is about 30 miles (round trip) in a car that gets about 25 miles/gal or about $2.60 / day.

Dave,
In your new position, are you using the OSISoft PI system or is it available?

I don't know what they are using for definite. But babelfish has been mentioned a couple of times.
