Turtle Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 There!!!! Okay, we have a sort-of tradition around the office of giving back-handed complements. A programmer gives me some code and it works first time, I might refer to it as that 'so-called subroutine'. I keep forgetting the rest of the world doesn't work that way. If I call you anything, it will be politely. :eek: 'Unemployable' in the sense of ??? I was unemployable until the modern computer was invented in the 1960's. I've been in a wheelchair since the age of 5 (polio). But after taking a few computer courses in grad school, I suddenly became employable. Magic.___Ahhhh...I love word-play. My so-called quatrains evidence that I guess. :evil: ___Unemployable in the sense that I have no job. I have in the past had jobs, even a couple of careers of decades or more. It is not that I can't do any work, but that I don't do it in an "acceptable" job form. At this stage I am caught in a Catch 22 with the authorities' views of 'disability'. I just do the best I can with what I have & I wouldn't mind a little magic myself. Time will tell. :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 The first two syllables were the result of a long and essentially random quest. Or you just like playing with fire :eek: - I do! :evil: Alas here in Australia we have space societies, space institutes, space associations, space schools but no space centre or space agency... :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can definitely say that rocket science is fun. Here's a pic of our local club with one of our club projects. I was also a Titan II mechanic in the Air Force many years ago. .

Pyrotex Posted November 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Hi Pyro, my work is the same, I call it "Hurry up and wait". I work as a software engineer at the US Patent Office. I am enjoying your posts in the Religious Nuts forum. B)How long have you been at the US patent office? Is it exciting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
