@elijahmanor Yes, Etymotic makes 'em, I swear by them. http://www.etymotic.com/consumer/earphones.html I hear nothing at all even with music off. (get the foam ones)

Source control? Nah, do roll back by holding down control Z.
Are you under leveraged? Speak today to one of our technical loan advisors & stop calling it tech debt. It's leverage! Gearing turns wheels!
If coffee machines had to fill out time cards, office managers would pay someone to make a cup of coffee every 30 seconds all day.
This is incredible. I actually need to curry a function. And I'm in C# and don't know how. I'm almost afraid to ask on stack overflow.
On missing } brace and the world collapses. The } is the atlas of the computer world.
The word #ScriptManager doesn't appear nowhere in my solution.You can't believe how happy that makes me. How many adopted MVC for just that?
You can't win. Fight distraction by self blocking Facebook in the host file, and then you have unblock it to login to half the web's SSO
If I die of old age before the Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 finishes, remember me fondly. That is if, your're still alive too.
