HEY, GUESS WHAT EVERYONE!Work has been running this competition for over the past 6 months called "The National Innovation Competition" where, if you've done something that has increased productivity and made a difference to work, your boss can nominate you to be in the competition. It's nation wide - ALL OF AUSTRALIA!
My boss nominated me for the program I've been developing for over the past 2 years. My program can do 11 times more work than a person can do manually.
There were 351 candidates Australia wide and... I WON IT!!
I get my own team of people to help develop it (if they can find anyone else in the Department who can program) and I've got to fly down to Canberra in December to receive my award.
Maybe the positives of being an Aspie DO outweigh the negatives ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Wow, congrats! That's an awesome accomplishment!
Also, I thought I'd weigh in a bit on the nostalgia. I used to louve Oregon Trail too, and I could do pretty much everything except hunt.

Never played Dungeons and Dragons though I've played variants of it. Game of Life is cool, Battleship is especially cool, I'd enjoy playing it even today. How about Apples To Apples? Or Bop-It? Or Memory?
DCJ, I hope the burglars didn't steal anything too important.

What a horrible day! Hope today was better.
Kuraudo, try and hang in there for classes, and feel better soon.
Oh man, wishing I could sleep for twelve plus hours instead of having choking fits every hour or two.
