I somehow landed on a head-hunter's mailing list
Enjoy the thought, and I'm certain that you're well worth hiring out of retirement.
But ... to you and others here on the forum, PLEASE do check the apply to address carefully if you do decide to casually apply for something.
There's a ton of very ugly identity theft and asset-poaching scammers sending out these cold call emails, generally impersonating actual recruiters...

I channeled my inner steve1989 and cracked this one open. From maybe 2012-14 or thereabouts. Been in my cold (60°F) dry basement since, but the pears, jam, and cinnamon "scone" were a no go. Sloppy Joe mix was good. Crackers had a nice hiss™ and my oldest liked it all (that was edible). Gonna buy some genuine article stuff made in this decade, which should be better. The FRH was still good, so it at least made the sloppy joes mix warm.

Love it! Dave is spot on…

Reminds me of an Easter egg I hid in a former job. I was designing a load balancer solution for some service, basically put in redundant hardware so if something fails in the back end then you still have service..

For testing, I had an error page which was a slightly slutty cartoon sheep saying “I’m baaad”. Not enough for HR but enough..

When I handed over the design, they replaced the error page but only on the primary load balancer. Which meant that if someone was doing maintenance and there was a problem in the backend.. slutty sheep!

About three months after I left that job, I got a tip from an ex colleague that it kept popping up for one particular backend service which was shittily designed. They were all pointing fingers at the backend implementation and pulling hair trying to find out where it was.. I got him to send me a screenshot and worked it out immediately. He fixed it up and everyone just blamed the 3rd party who was doing the backend.. silly times.

the devs put in one at an agency I worked for a while back: if you entered the Konami code on the keyboard while on our site's homepage, an image that was basically this (original lost to time) would pop up. It was a play on the name of the agency (transposing a couple of letters)

I will not be taking questions.
