I too, like most geeks in cyberdom, suffer from "Caffiene withdrawls" if you will, pending consumption of that wonderful, delicious, morning Mountain Dew. There are days where I'll consume 5 or 6 before lunchtime. Don't tell me these things aren't 'addictive' or 'habit forming'. We should start a class action against them.
Simple Formula
Cans Consumed Per Day times Price Of Can = Daily Reimbursement Minimum
Example
Lets Say one of us "not mentioning any names here..." drinks 12 Mt. Dews a day. Take the 12 times 65 cents for a total of $7.80. Take the $7.80 times a 5 day work week for $39.00 . Take the $39.00 times 52 weeks in a year for $2028 per year. Take the years times the number of years in the workforce, twelve, times the $2028 for $24436.
Lets add in a quality of life charge, etc. etc. and just say that Pepsi owes each of us $75,000.
Hey it worked on the smokes companies and they've printed on the cartons for years that they were bad for you......
At 17 I started moving computers and doing rollouts for Entex. I'm now 23, and have been in the IT profession for only 5 years, I now manage a Siemens IT group. At 23, the next youngest person on my staff is 26 and from there all the way up to 45. Stick with it. We thrive in a world where the 23 year old like me looks at the 15 year old, smiles, and know that he's got some stiff competition coming down the road. Embrace Chaos!
