I spent most of the weekend re-tiling our bathroom. (Luckily I had the help of someone who knew what they were doing.) I did not find tiling to be much fun. Every now and then people in the tech industry talk about how they think about chucking it all and going into some line of work that’s not computer related, like baking bread, or selling widgets, or what have you. Well, I’m glad I work in the tech industry, because I actually like it, and I think I’m good at it. Sure, sometimes I too think of getting out, but if I ever do, being a tile installation person will not be on my list of professions to try out…

Breathing in tile adhesive and grout powder is almost as bad as debugging Active Server Pages. I said almost.
