Title: Funny story from Apple technician about dating!
Post by: gunug on January 15, 2008, 09:02:14 AM: I'm kind of glad my dating years are behind me and they had nothing to do with computers but here's a story by an Apple tech guy about his
"unique" date (nothing there that grandma couldn't read I think) :

I sent it to an Apple tech friend of mine. Asked him if all Apple techs are like this one.

Post by: gunug on January 16, 2008, 07:47:07 AM: Gregg - the plain truth is I don't wear a watch. Haven't in a number of years since I had carpel tunnel surgery; it hurts too much. I just keep an eye open for things of interest and some of them "might" be interesting to people here. No more zombie stories unless they involve Apple computers!

I just don't know how you find the time to, er, find them.

1 hour to get ready for and get to work
4 hours of work
1 hour of lunch
4 hours of work
1 hour to get home and have some dinner

That's 11 hours left for sleeping and surfing

I suspect you set aside
6 hours for surfing
5 hours for sleeping
