You're probably right.

So don't tell us.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Sadly no.

I spent the whole of today as the butt of a joke when I was given two drives to add to a server - HP DL 360 G5.
Off I go only to see that there are only 4 drive bays in the server and they are all full.

I have a little rant over the phone at the colleague who instructed me to add the drives - words to the effect of he is not very knowledgeable and has not fully mastered his sense of sight.

He gets to the office and shows me the two spare drive bays cleverly disguised by front plates that match the design of the front of the server making them look like part of the case...

Queue embarrassment and ridicule.

Welcome to my world.

By the time you get to my current age, you'll have become used to the feeling. ;-)

^^ Sounds just like my office, but without the random and alarmingly realistic renditions of "get on my horse" being thrown in there as well. ;)

My office is very quite. They are very formal. Everyone seems to work and keep to themselves. drives me crazy sometimes.

Its the only thing that i miss from my old work place. (The conversations.... but my boss sucked.)
