I've had similar experiences to OP, and I can also attest to the fact that it is absolutely obnoxious to be treated like a criminal in the normal course of filling your daily prescription. Sometimes you have to travel for work, and bec

Choking down the rage this comment inspires in me, let me just say that pressure cooking pork in a vat of liquid is NOT the same thing as a slow-smoked pulled pork and to call proper barbecue pointless is affront to all that is good and dec

I'm not a big movie watcher but I definitely repeatedly consume other media. Music in particular, tv and print as well. If an album comes out that I like a lot, I'll often play it front to back a dozen of times in a week.

No idea what a 'salesforce architect or developer' is, but how would a COBOL programmer be considered IT staff? (In the context of this thread where IT staff == support staff)
