A different take on the "Show me your Desktop" meme

A different take on the "Show me your Desktop" meme, originally uploaded by sskroeder.

Instead of seeing what is on my computer desktop (which is not particularly interesting), here is instead the view from my desk at work...

To the left is the very handsome fogbear , joining in on the Photo of the Now Meme -- Work on the right (COBOL code for the ones that need to know ;-)

In front, my beloved Starbucks Vancouver Mug, which holds the essential 3 times Espresso that I start with each morning...
(Many of my co-workers note that I may have the largest mug in the company... Thanks Starbucks! ;-D)

The flags in the background ... Well - they are there for a reason... Can you guess it ? *LOL*

*LOOL*!

Coding-wise, not my favourite - but it's what about 90% of our system is coded in, so it's a necessary evil, I'm afraid...

Heh, one of the larger still-remaining non-auto businesses in town made a whole fortune on supporting COBOL-based legacy systems. COBOL is a funnier language than C!
