I'd say the coders who made an assload of money off it deserved what they got. Anything that needed to be fixed can't have been fun to fix.
Yup. There was a fair ol' chunk of code whose source was long-lost and which didn't have documentation.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
And there is the amusement of find old pieces of tech that have the ubiquitous green, yellow or (well, those would be scrap so you don't see them anymore) red stickers on them.
Also Y2K got me into Biohazard Level 3 places that I in no way should have been, but I seem to have missed any of the major bugs. It also meant I didn't get a kiss on New Year's but you take what you can get.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I hope you're all happy. I was just upstairs dropping off some papers for someone's signature, and the hallway was covered with FLU SHOT signs, so I got one, all because of you. Also, I didn't flip out over the needle-ness of it hardly at all, and my nurse gave me a Power Rangers band-aid.
Still, ALL BECAUSE OF YOU. Except for Nutty, the contrarian anti-alarmist.

Gee, I didn't even get a Band-Aid when I got my shot. All they did was stick me and then rub a little alcohol on my arm.

I'm not gettin' no stinkin' flu shot.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Gee, I didn't even get a shot. They cancelled them twice here.
(To be fair, I've never had a flu shot before, though I was planning to take advantage this year.)

Kathy, I made a point of warning the nurse that I had a needle phobia and I was trying hard not to wig out, but it might not be easy, so I think I scored the Ninja Storm as a reward for courage under fire.
The sensation of it barely even qualified as "hurt," really. Hey, needle phobia? Fuck you!
Hec, dear... @@
