Medical Alert!

[RealBlackStuff]

The Center for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically. This virus is called Weekly Overload Recreational Killer (WORK).

If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues or anyone else via any means whatsoever - DO NOT TOUCH IT!!! This virus will wipe out your private life entirely. If you should come into contact with WORK you should immediately leave the premises.

Take two good friends to the nearest liquor store and purchase one or both of the antidotes - Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.

You should immediately forward this medical alert to five friends. If you do not have five friends, you have already been infected and WORK is, sadly, controlling your life. Get help immediately.

Should we infer that the reason you posted this here is you don't have five friends outside the ThinkPad community?

Fortunately I can ignore such a preposterous remark.
I retired already in 2001, and Weekly Overload Recreational Killer does not exist in my vocabulary.
And I have no lack of friends either.



PS: I posted in this Forum, because I can not access the "Off Topic" Forum, due to a phpbb (=forum software) problem.
Not because I'd be a recluse!

Cool compilation! I bet the first guy was using windows. That´s where boot times, performance, reliability and design start to count Each one of those can increase frustration at work. Excluding the latest case (some sort of ad), all those guys were/are working on computers... BTW, I found the second guy to make some quite intelligent attempt

I prefer my work computer act like a college boy on beer. The more reliable my computer is, the less work I have an excuse to not do.

I meant my comment to be humurous. Sorry, if you took offense with it.

Good posting, RBS. The more the merrier.

So you have retired as well. I don't blame you. Take the money and run.

I didn't take offense at all!
Although my wife keeps complaining that I have a warped sense of humor
