Misspent youth, part 65

Yes, at one of my first jobs, I had a boss who was a major gamer in the bad old days when you didn't have high speed internet at home. He invited all his buddies (no use hiding the sex here...ain't no HIPAA among gamers!) for LAN parties at the office, which was closed for the weekend. This was, of course, explained to management, as "network load testing."

My job entailed a lot of internet surfing. I was the chief user on the user internet stats at Ye Old Government back in the day. All was for my job (and I had the stats on my side, too, baby!)

But, as a nurse, I have to say, I thought this was pretty cool, doing hospital orientation in a virtual world.
Wonder if I could frag anyone...or at least run a virtual code?

Stay tuned...you never know.

Whole lotta shakin'

It's only March and the earthquakes just keep coming. The photos of the quake and tsunami in Japan and warnings in Hawaii are just unreal.

Having lots of nuclear discussions around the house with the expert, which makes life interesting.
