Best memories:
- Figuring out how to get square root in COBOL (no built-in fn).
- Writing Conway's game of life in Wang assembler (more or less IBM 270/370 assembler).
Worst memories:
Quality Learning Process (QLP) - a completely ineffectual attempt to turn the company around by writing "working together for quality" on mugs, pencils etc. (at least that's how I remember it).
A mushroom trip in Vancouver helped me understand the underlying cause of dependency, what I was running away from. That seemed to be all it took. The need was simply gone and the habit broken. Weekends are more like the energizing productive breaks they always should have been.
