Please don't take this too seriously.

I can't think of a single example that isn't.

Name one.

My former manager. What's my prize?

Do whatever you're gonna do, but before you off yourself, make sure you vote for Heather Mizeur in the primary.

This ain't Chicago; we need you breathing for your vote to count.

My roommate works for her campaign. I'm registered independent, though, so I can't vote.

Hmm. I think my roommate is out of a job...

Care to elaborate?

If we're talking about a regular person who struck it rich doing something, it's always luck.

Obviously, hard work can be a contributing factor. But lots of people work hard and have little to show for it. Boot-strap pulling is not a factor in success.

[Lorizael]

So if hard work can be a contributing factor, then all success isn't based purely on luck, timing, and deception.

My new boss replaced my old keyboard and mouse with wireless ones because they're "better." The new keyboard doesn't have a standard Home/End/Insert/Delete/PageUp/PageDown panel, and my typing is much slower as a result. Life is terrible.

Tell him the new keyboard isn't ergo friendly to your hands and while you appreciate his trying to make your life better, a different keyboard would probably be better.

[ColdWizard]

Better if you like replacing batteries/have the battery supply contract.

I'm only going to fight him on so many things. He's convinced I need a second monitor, for example, and I'm pouring most of my energies into preventing that from happening. At home, he uses more monitors than I have fingers, and he can barely work on the two he's forced to contend with in the office. I'm not really sure what he needs all those extra monitors for; alt-tab exists for a reason.

Hikikomori -- not just for victims of the Japanese work ethic, anymore.

Drinking, eating, breathing, sleeping, ejaculating, pooping, and peeing are all contributing factors to success.

Moreso than hard work.

Maybe... except for this:

6) no other mental disorder that accounts for the social withdrawal and avoidance.

An extra monitor for work is great, I should have asked for one years earlier.

[Lorizael]

Maybe for some jobs. Not this one. The maximum number of windows I need to see at any one time is two, and my monitor is more than wide enough to accommodate two windows when that becomes necessary.

Indeed. More desktop space increases productivity. That's a no-brainer.

Does that include Poly?
