 When people exit their cars in a big parking lot and they don't activate the alarm/lock beep until they are 100 yards away.  Why do they wait so long?  Are they trying to make some sort of grand exit statement?  I beep mine right away.  You..?
 

How 'bout those who activate their alarms when they go into 7-11? Paranoid much?

We take writing samples from everyone we hire - even the receptionists.  Although a particular position may not involve any writing, the sample is one good way of gauging a candidate's ability to communicate clearly.

I learned that the real coffeeshops in my new work location are sadly lacking.  FYI businessowners:  put up a coffee shop in Navy Yard and you'll make a ton of money.

 Today I learned that you CAN have an additional Domain Controller in a Windows SBS2003 environment, provided the new DC has R2 and you run the forestprep command from the R2 installation media on the origional SBS DC.
