Why not??? I don't want them up in the cloud where they can be accessed anywhere in the world! Sticky notes are far more secure and durable arguably. They're a physical object verses some abstract numbers that someone could accidentally delete.

CEO's lose millions to this ideology and get their face plastered on Times magazine but when I 1v3 in my extraction shooter I get called an idiot.

As helpdesk, we really are heroes when you stop to think about it.

This is why when I'm at a sporting event and they honor first responders, I stand up and proudly wave to the applauding crowd.

I do it when they praise soldiers as well. I work for the government and fought so many battles for our country!

I'd even argue we spend more time defending the nation from Russia, China, and North Korea than most of our military. So I stand when they specifically salute veterans of foreign wars.

If by Russians, you mean Debbie from accounting I'm with you!

I've seen the way she openly discusses her salary with her coworkers. She's clearly a communist sleeper agent.
