Funny story from Apple technician about dating!
« 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) :

This is part of a collection of best technological writing for 2007.

Funny, Funny  thumbup.gif

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

John, you've got too much time on your hands and I don't care if you only wear one watch... wink.gif
Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.

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!

Oh, I find the things you post here to be quite interesting.

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

24 hours

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

Well, I was surfing at 4am this morning because I couldn't get back to sleep!  I think I was anticipating the snowy drive and the fender-bender my younger son just had this morning!   wallbash.gif
