A man flying in a hot air balloon suddenly realizes he’s lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts to get directions, "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?" The man below says: "Yes. You're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field." "You must work in Information Technology," says the balloonist. "I do" replies the man. "How did you know?" "Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but It's of no use to anyone." The man below replies, "You must work in management." "I do," replies the balloonist, "But how'd you know?" "Well", says the man, "you don’t know where you are or where you’re going, but you expect me to be able to help. You’re in the same position you were before we met, but now it’s my fault."

I need to hire this guy to change some light bulbs in the chandelier above the stairwell steps to our basement.

This one made me laugh... Drain the AC into the pan, lol... Brilliant!

I thought I was having a bad week but then I read about this guy and I can't imagine anyone having a worse week then surviving through not one but two of these.

Are you not up for the challenge, Larry?

My wife forbids it. Since getting food poisoning about five years ago, I get vertigo when I look upward, like when changing a light bulb or the battery in a ceiling-mounted smoke detector. The picture below gives an idea of the stairwell: there's about a 14 ft drop from the chandelier to the basement floor at the base of the stairwell. Standing on a stepladder with one end propped on a stool and reaching over to the chandelier is inviting disaster.

Yes, I have Meniere's so anything above the first rung of the ladder is too high for me and time to call "the guy!"
You have a beautiful home BTW!

Linux isn't quite like that anymore. If it were I'd probably still be using Windbloze!

in the old days, I used to "play" with "new" distro's as they became available. Do you remember Licorice? Dolphin Linux? Yellow Dog? Turbo Linux? BeOS? Haiku? Mandrake? Corel Linux? etc, etc!
Just getting the sound to work was a "pump the air with your fists" moment! Lol

Naw, didn't really get into Linux until Ubuntu 10.04 desktop (and server). Then didn't like the new desktop of Ubuntu so I looked real hard at other flavors and settled with Mint MATE (18.1 is what I am running now).

I think I took a quick look at Corel Linux. But then again I played with OS/2 Warp (3.0 I believe) and Desqview / Qemm back when I was part of a multi-line BBS who ended up running Fido-Net as our email service. I've seen a lot of changes over the years as I am sure many here have too!

We ran PCBoard 14.5 multi lines (at the most 2 for a short time). The Communicator II BBS was the name of the board. Ahhhhh, dem wuz da daysssssssss
