I most certainly did not! Your code does not even work correctly: it outputs a blank line, followed by ’
My boss is a goat-felching bitch.’ (Your code would work if you replaced the first ‘echo’ with ‘cat’, used ‘echo -e’ instead of ‘echo’ for the second echo, and removed one of the ’
's.)
I actually tested my code before posting; it does exactly what I wanted it to do.
damn junior programmers. can’t trust them to do anything right.
Well, I thought this thread would be more exciting. This is the geekiest rant thread ever! 
Hey, I bugchecked it immediately after I posted it 
(you’re right, 's buggy.)
[sub]Well, when am I supposed to check it?[/sub]
damn, you people are geeks
so am I, because I understood all of it except the shell script…
and I haven’t used c++ for ages (all bow down to the master language) and I could still understand it.

hehehe beat that for obscurity
FTR my job sucks, but my boss is cool.
Obviously a lot of frustrated programmers out there in Doperland 
Seeing these examples, can’t help being reminded of this.
HTML makes sense Aslan, but you need some PHP to do the repetition. Also, there are only 85 'I hate…'s! Mwahaha! I beat you all (until you point out my html doesn’t validate)
<html><head><p><b>I hate my job</b></p></head>
<body>
<p><%php for (i=0;i<85;i++) print('I hate my job.'); %></p>
<p>My boss is a goat-felching bitch.</p>
</body>
</html>
I hate my job so much I just spent the last fifteen minutes writing a short interactive fiction game (remember Zork? Yup, same language) about how much I hate my job.
I hate my job so much I redundantly state the redundant.
Now I’m going to delete ihatemyjob.z5 because it was written on company time and thus my employer owns it.
(Maybe I’ll post part of ihatemyjob.inf if someone asks nicely.)
BTW do you want to elaborate? It sounds like there may be a story here.
Yeah, lots of people do. I’m sorry you feel bad about it.
Will you post part of ihatemyjob.inf?
Well, the short version is, it was about 20 minutes before I left for the day, I had about 3 hours worth of work I was trying to get done in that 20 minutes, and my boss wanders over, tosses a piece of someone else’s work and says she’s leaving for the day and she wants me to do this one thing before I go home.
I did that one thing, gathered up everything else on my desk and dropped it back in the incoming work bin, and went home.
Was she stupid or malicious?
Stupid. At least if she was malicious, I’d have a shot at overcoming that.
I know where you are. I was there too from october 2002, when i tuerned down a promotion and a raise at my old employer to take a more lucrative position at a new company, little knowing what a destrcutive experience I was sunjecting myself to. Now I’m jobless, but at least I’m sane.

That’s the shortest you can do? Try:
for (; printf("I hate my job! "););
Bow before my power to mis-use ‘for’ statements.
-lv (who’s really hoping that a non-failure printf returns non-zero, but can’t really remember right now and doesn’t feel like finding a man page somewhere)
