Ah . . . sigh . . . A story I can tell now: One night around the new year, at the end of 1999. I was wondering around (client) with a bottle of nice sparkling wine, looking for somewhere to keep it cool.
It was a special one-off night shift tacked onto the ml llend of a contract. I was to stay until various things had finished normally overnight, as expected. "You're drunk!" said the fella. I recognised him from a manager's meeting. I'd had a glass of wine, but I defo wasn't drunk! I couldn't resist it. I stole a line from an American comedian (I can't remember his name) and I said his line loud and proud "Why the Hell not? I've been drinking all day!" His face was a picture :-) And all he could do, being practical, was to sigh and say "Carry on . . ." :-) It was my last day as a contractor, as I was going to spend some years as a single parent of 4, so I never asked for a reference. Perhaps it would have read "Got the job done. Appears to drink like a fish." :-) Rupert On Tue, 31 Dec 2019, 18:26 Chris Hoelscher, <[email protected]> wrote: > Has it been 20 years since Y2K?? sometimes it seems like last year, other > times seems like another lifetime ..... > > Thank You, > Chris Hoelscher| Lead Database Administrator | IBM Global Technical > Services| T 502.476.2538 or 502.407.7266 > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
