I need that sign.

Today's question is from @JacinLarkwell:

Ten years?

A little over 4 years for me As a pizza maker for domino's

 

[Logar]

Around 10 years working for no pay. Looks like I will be having another 3 years at this job before moving to a higher up position.

And yes, I am talking about school

My sister has this sign on her machine at GM

I know someone who I think has been doing programming for more than 10 years.

I interpreted this as "for the same company", not "doing the same job". I've been a linux engineer for 25 years, just not all at the same company.

But who's counting?

The guy who's counting down to retirement

That's what I figured. And the person I know has been working for the same company 10+ years.

He probably grew up when multitasking didn't really work well. Just wait until he hears about octa-core CPUs that can handle a ton of open windows.

Yeah, the only coding he's heard of is BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) and when I started learning HTML and Java, he said, "You ain't doin' it right! Why aren't you writing flowcharts and stuff?!" Because we don't do that any more, Dad.
And he tells me to "close all those flipping tabs you got open!" When I have 4 tabs...

I need that sign.

Me too!

The guy who's counting down to retirement

I'm counting down to death. But that's an unknown, so...
