    I am an aspiring software Engineer myself, I guess what’s good about all these bad events is that you get to learn that you have a sharp memory after all. By having this realization, you should now be able to remember the name of that file you wanted to work on at about 10:40 a.m.

    Hysterical! My favorite bit was:

    “Found a guy testing something. Feel real pity for his pathetic, boring and useless existence.”

    LOL.

    Thanks for the laugh!
