7. "Look, sir, I've been playing solitaire for three months straight! Don't you think it's time for a change?" (Good Ol' Horseface)
6. "Work" is relative term, and its definition shouldn't be limited to the constricted terms of what is "productive" for your employer. Don't let "The Man" tell you what you are "paid to do." (kent)
5. "I was trying to understand the the issue from our Cambodian client's point of view" (DFU)

2. You have to know what color the "8" is. (Helix)
1. "This? oh, it's a....database tool. Ever hear of data-MINING?" (Topher)
