What happens when there is one job that nobody seems to enjoy? I seriously doubt there is just one unenjoyable task. But letting even one go undone reaks of failure. Failure of management and the assigned worker. Shit rolling down hill and all, who takes the heat?
a friend of mine noticed the alarm system was the same as the one at home. He had read the manual and wondered if the initial security code was still active. Needless to say, he annoyed at least one vice principal.
Yes. I have my hood up a lot. The truck is 22 years old.
I was thinking more specifically to my application/problem. The intake/exhaust manifolds on my truck are stacked. I had a problem with the carbureator getting too hot for a while. I fixed that problem but discovered a few others. Currently, my number five cylinder has a vacuum leak between the intake/exhaust and the head. I figure with my specific setup, I could probably tell if one cylinder was getting cooler/hotter mixture/exhaust by the color difference on the intake, which is on top. Otherwise, yes the exhaust would make more sense. Of course such a 'feature' would show the variation in heat for each cylinder. And it would look cool.
Paint parts of the car engine. I wouldn't mind knowing that when my intake manifold turns from white to red that it is at normal operating temperature. But if it should happen to turn purple, it's running too hot.
My company uses SAP, which many here will be familiar with. The GUI we originally started out with required the use of the pull down file menu or a fast path to reach the desired function. In the versions released in the last 3-4 years however, they converted the file menu to a menu tree in the main body of the screen. The fast paths are still an option, but the file menu is not. To navigate the tree, it is quicker to use the mouse, but not as quick as I could call up the same function with the old pull down menu. There is a somewhat complicated way to switch back to the file menu option, but it's not really worth the effort anymore. And what advantage do we get with the new GUI? A favorites menu and a more graphics intense GUI. The Favorites menu was available in previous version, but few people knew how to get to it let alone set it up. I'm not even going to touch the Linux based client, all java. But given the people I work with, you'd think their right hand was glued to the mouse and all but one finger bound into a fist while typing. Freakin idiots!

Exactly. Hitler after all changed the world. Which is anecdotal that intelegence and moral bearing have very little sway in the face of motivation.

You must be from one of those states that require someone to pump gas for you. And what exactly is wrong with pumping gas? What if someone insanely smart loved to pump gas? Would you look down on them knowing this? It quite frankly disgusts me that people would even bother to look down on someone that is otherwise happy and functional, even if they were an idiot. Ask yourself, who's the fool that wears the crown.

Let's see, I've been fucking your mom for three years. (Your dad doesn't know, shhhh.) Your dad gave me a job six months after that started. And I started embezzling from him a year ago. So two and a half years.
Brains work different? I would tend to think the difference is in the ego. Your average marketing dweeb tries to sell their assets with a pretty package. (Not that package you sickos.) Your average geek relies on their mad computer skills, which last I chacked was a lot less tangible.
Oddly enough, I believe Chrysler had a concept Charger that ran on some 'alternative fuel'. I forget when it was exactly or what it ran on. It may have even had an orange paint job.
About a year after a very blue company turned my division very red, the new company bought into this scheme about the cheese to illustrate why some people were going on permanent vacation.

Who should I send it to? My Congress Critter or Bellsouth? I know one of those already owes me money.
sports Centrino and my laptop has a Mt Olive Pickle processor.

Who Moved My Cheese if you really want to be insulted.
Just pay a few people to wear them on Mtv.
That would more than convince many people to wear one.
