I UNDERSTAND, JONMC, I DO ABOUT NOT BEING THERE AT THIS TIME OF YEAR. I AM ACTUALLY OFF TODAY, SO I JUST KNOW THEY ARE MESSING UP ALL THE SPECIAL ORDERS, AND EVENTUALLY I WILL HEAR ABOUT IT. PLUS I'M KIND OF USED TO WORKING RIGHT UP TO THE HOLIDAY AND GET THE DAY AFTER OFF, SO I'M BUMMED.

Well, I'm happy to be of service, my love. I feel very lucky to have you to look after, so just sit back and enjoy it, big fella. I'll look forward to my daily massage and breakfast in bed for a month soon as the cast comes off. ; )

WHAT brujita?! You broke the SECRET CODE between me and meatbomb! What's the USE of the Dutch language if people are able to UNDERSTAND us?

I feel a bit uncomfortable now. As if using capitals is bad manners.

YOU KNOW HOW I SAID THIS MORNING I WAS BEING FORCED TO ATTEND A "MEETING" IN MY OFFICE AT 9AM THAT INVOLVED ALCOHOL? WELL, THE MEETING RAN FOR FOUR HOURS AND ENDED WITH ABOUT 8 QUITE DRUNK PEOPLE AT MY WORKPLACE. ONCE I HAD KICKED EVERYONE OUT OF MY OFFICE, I MANAGED TO GET A SMALL AMOUNT OF WORK DONE DESPITE MY QUITE DRUBKEN STATE, THEN HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER "MEETING" AT THE OTHER END OF THE BUILDING AND I'M JUST ON MY WAY HOME NOW, STILL A BIT DRUBK. I THINK THIS IS A BAD THING, GIVEN THAT THE FIRST "MEETING" STARTED 12 HOURS AGO. BUT GUESS WHAT? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!

   for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {

    hCom = CreateFile("COM1",GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE,0,NULL,OPEN_EXISTING,0,NULL);
    GetCommState(hCom, &dcb);
    dcb.BaudRate = CBR_19200; // set the baud rate
    dcb.ByteSize = 8;     // data size, xmit, and rcv
    dcb.Parity = NOPARITY;   // no parity bit
    dcb.StopBits = ONESTOPBIT; // one stop bit
    SetCommState(hCom, &dcb);

    hBuffer = (i + " " + getName());
    WriteFile(hCom,hBuffer,10,&dcb,NULL);
   }
   System.out.println("DONE! " + getName());
}
}
Have I done it right?
