I'm - regularly - at the office four days a week, so for years the company used my computer to quickly set up new ones by duplicating the disk...
Once upon a time the technician mixed the disks and ruined mine by overwriting it with an empty one - on that occasion I took my time to re-install the environment... 8 days (two working weeks)... No one ever since touched my computer in my absence... 
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

It takes me at least two man-weeks, spread over a month or so, before everything is how I need it.
And windows says that everyone has to "upgrade" to winio -- how many billions will that waste?

It's a bit uncanny he'd know how long it take me to set up a new box.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I respect you for studying. I should be doing the same! I had worked 55 straight days on a project, the last being Saturday the 24th; so I have just been taking it easy. My sports team got destroyed last night, so it's been a heavy dose of You Tube since.

That's a boatload of stuff you've finished.
I went out on a number of day trips with my wife. Several scenic drives to mountains, beaches, wildlife parks, etc.
I'm inspired by your post, and I'm going to start reading up and may be watch some pluralsight videos today.

I spent my holidays chasing my grand kids around the pool, the beach and the garden. Taking them to various places and having an excellent time with them.
I actually enjoyed my holidays, you have my sympathies but unless you got out and enjoyed yourself I would hardly call that a holiday.
Then again if you are a lonely single with no local family to spend it with I can understand using the time to expand your skills. I remember those day as well, they were not enjoyable.

I enjoyed learning as wife had a job during holidays and I had whole day for myself so instead of playing games I just tuned myself to do some training.

What site is that? Seems awesome. Squeezed in some pods from codeblocks, not sure if its learning or entertainment but it something.

Thanks, from the way you chewed threw quite a few in your original post that site seems quite captivating and I've been looking for something similar so thanks!

We've all been down with the flu all week.
I worked till noon Wednesday. Then Thursday & Friday I was in bed wishing for death..
Then Saturday I was So So.. now my wife's got it. The kids has it last week.
So much for Holiday time off.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.
