Comment Too bad, really like Blue Apron (Score 1) 158

Since the kids moved out 2 years ago and my wife is partly disabled/unable to safely use the stove (injury left her with no feeling in either arm, can easily burn herself and not even know it until the skin peals away!), we've been using Blue Apron and it's great. Saves me a lot of time cooking dinner. Since we can rarely finish a meal, we also have leftovers for a day or two. Never had bad or rotten ingredients. Probably only had 2-3 meals we didn't like in this time.

Comment Previous Company was sold (Score 1) 540

Worked for 13+ years at a small, 80Million year in sales, aerospace company. The owner retired and sold it to a 2.8Billion year conglomerate in which the ONLY chart that mattered was the sales per employee metric. Saw the writing on the wall and left about a year ago. Very glad I did. The IT staff went from 5 down to 1 with no developers left on staff. That's okay because I'm very happy at my new job and my old company is more then willing to pay me $225/hr to consult and fix issues.

Comment Obligatory 'Better Off Ted' Post (Score 1) 274

Lem: Maybe the meat blob's not taking in enough nutrients. I guess I could try and give it a mouth. Ted: I'm gonna say no to the meat blob getting a mouth. Mostly because I don't want to hear what it has to say : : Jerome: It tastes familiar Ted: Beef? Jerome: No Linda: Chicken? We’ll take chicken. Jerome: [Shakes head.] Ted: What does it taste like? Jerome: Despair. Ted: Is it possible it just needs salt?

Comment None! (Score 1) 557

When my house burnt down 4 years ago we leveled what was left and started over from scratch. I looked into all the latest tech but the cost was astronomical for most high end tech stuff at that time! The only thing I did put in was nice theater surround in my living room. Splurge on the kitchen area and cabinets. Not cool at all but more re-sale value.

Comment I once interviewed the 'No.3 Clipper Programmer' (Score 1) 285

Back in the early 90's we received a resume at my then employer in which this person stated they where the '#3 Clipper programmer in Rochester, NY'. Well, we HAD to interview him. He wouldn't tell us how he came about this ranking but it was correct! After the interview I told my co-worker that 'if he's the #3 Clipper programmer, then we are #1 & #2 and I'm pretty sure we weren't #1 and #2.' Always wondered were he came up with #3.
