From time to time our high school gym teacher would make us run the beacon. We would jog to Ord road to the base of the hill across from the park. 30 teenagers ranging in size from hockey cock to aspiring boat anchors would scale up to the beacon and run down back to school in under an hour. This was the most hated class event; even more so than gymnastics, wrestling, square dancing and soccer. Soccer is for chopsy wankers!
Speaking of brits, I had the poor luck of talking to an old classmate of mine from the computing science program. He’s living outside London, still with his parents I believe. His employer has asked him to develop a small database. I assume it went something like “Hey, why don’t we ask Chopsy to do that, he has his degree!”. And chopsy said “oh shit”.
He asked me today if I had any tutorials for MS Access. I’m going to forward the conversation to his instructors and ask if it isn’t too late to reconsider his standing.
