Collation
My apologies for not posting for two days, but I've been busy working on books about machinery and machinery systems (captivatingly zzzzz) , acting (I think I'll become an actress; I could win an Academy Award! I've still got my speech ready...), teaching and classroom diversity (another zzzzz), and other fascinating topics.
I even have a book coming up about collation. How much is there to say about collation? Do they mean, like, the collating of papers that come out of a desktop printer? Probably not. I'm worried it's about this:
But one must pay the monthly maintenance, so I take whatever work I'm given. I can stop TOMORROW if you people would just get together and pay my maintenance for me. Sheesh, what's the problem?!

I have performed collatio bonorum many times, often for money.
You don't really want to stop tomorrow, do you? You like it, don't you?
Hmmm, collatio bonorum...
I am no longer jealous of your job.
I work so I can pay doctor bills. Nothing is left to send your way, sorry.
It is amazing the simple things they can write books out of.
My husband got me a thick book on how to plan a Disney World vacation. Here I thought I would just peruse the internet.
This sort of colation has to do with how data gets stored in a database. Sounds like a fun read. Hang in there zed.
scintillating.
Sans, you have the most fascinating mind ... Thanks for the enouragement not to stop, but if you'd just send $1,000,000 US, I could. You made millions in royalties from Lucille Cataldo's remake of Hairdresser, Hairdresser--no?
Really, Mel, no point in being envious. Publishing isn't what it's cracked up to be.
Lynda, have you see the book about the toilet by John Crapper? Yes they write books about everything. :) (Actually, that was a funny book.)
Sushiboy, that sounds absolutely snoozable. Can't wait! :) (NY sarcasm...)
Thanks, Skyler's Dad. I think so too. :)
here's a buck toward your maintenance. i owe you 10 bucks anyway.
Hey, Jane, where's the other 9 bucks?
Does your husband know anything about collation? He's nerd of the year, so I'm thinking yes. :)
Put the words " the seven habits of highly collated people" in the title and you'll have a best seller
Wow, it appears we have SQL expert here... Next time SQL is kicking my ass I'll ask Sushi to fix it, cause I pretty much know nothing about it, except my blog uses it to store data. I hope that's all I ever need to know about it...
GT, how about:
1. The Purpose-Driven Collation.
2. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Collation.
3. Men Are from Mars, Collation Is from Venus
Or my personal favorite, #4:
4. He's Just Not that into Collation
Nobody, SQL is a God-awful computer language I hope I never need to learn. And now that we've got Sushiboy, we don't have to! I love how that works! You know what SQL stands for Stupid Query Language (I made that up). :)
I have to write some equally boring stuff in my job, too — probably not as much as you do, though.
