New conversations

A sample conversation with one of the locals in my new neighbors. It helps to know that I'm a budding Java developer:

Worker At Quizno's: Nice day today
Me: Yes it is. I'm new to the neighborhood and I'm really liking it
WAQ: The weather is nice but the standard of living is so high, you have to have a good job in order live here.
Me: Well, I'm a software developer so I do ok.
WAQ: Oh yeah? I used to do that too. I was a Java developer with a financial firm. I introduced them to J2EE back in 1999. *smears mayo on my sandwich*
Me: Oh.

Maybe it's time to go learn some Lisp.
