Do you feel that your “customers” are the administration or the general public? Whom do you feel that you are serving in your job? Do you feel that the directions given to you by your administration are legal and safe and reasonable? Do you feel that the directions given to you by your administration cause a disadvantage to yourself or your “customers”?

You could try to clutch at straws to justify staying in your job. You might be able to reasonably determine that your feelings for your administration don’t affect the performance of your job. Maybe staying in your job is the best way to benefit your “customers” and obstruct the administration.

Only you can decide how you feel and what is an appropriate match for your own moral and ethical position.

Rescued my daughter in the cliched flat tyre in the rain scenario, the flashing light was good to alert other drivers. I think it’s something that could be useful very rarely.

I was part of a team that was trained in COBOL to help update code in time for Y2K. We’ve been headhunted by the same company several times in the last ten years to further update and maintain the same code, originally written in the mid-1970s. I’m now 56, and I suspect that code base will live at least as long as I do.

It might or might not:

• arrive

• be genuine
• be fit for purpose

What does that mean? I saw it on a concrete pole and I thought it looked interesting.

At the dinner table, ask your mom for the recipe because it tastes so good.

Where do I buy deoxyribose sugar? Can I just use sugar from the supermarket?
