Which works great until the program at the other end asks for scancodes.

Since no one mentioned it, Gimp can open up pdf's as images.

As can Paint Shop Pro, if you already own it.
Or, open it in Reader and take a screen shot. ;-)

I think it would have been more fun to keep Andy in suspense for a few
more days.

Surely you've demonstrated how you can solve all the minor technical
glitches though? Surely not everyone in your company is that dumb that they
all think you're totally incompetent?
Did you ever try to work pro-actively? I mean by suggesting things to your
boss that you think you should be doing (in order to improve the company's
IT), rather than just waiting to be told things to do? It might make them
think more of you as a valued employee contributing to the company rather
than "just" an IT worker who fixes stuff when asks.

Well clearly you have travelled to a foreign country, when you actually paid
yourself to go, albeit for a holiday. Are you really telling me that if
paid enough you still wouldn't travel abroad to work for a few days? How
about to go to a conference? OOC why not?

Sometimes I think to myself about just giving up this stuff and going to
work selling drinks on the beach somewhere hot :-) Is it really worth
having so much more responsibility and stress for your whole life just to
get a bigger house or faster car or whatever? Are you really going to be
happier in the end?

The trick is, finding a job that you actually enjoy.
born at the right time. I did not need a degree to operate the photocopier the
way my wife did.

Hmm, maybe I don't enjoy my job as much as I think I do, if I am always
thinking it would be more fun to stay at home and do other stuff.
