I wouldn't consider cars to be an extension of the personality.
More like they are often the only way to go about one's business in a timely and efficient manner.

I was wondering how powerful her home computer must have been to be able to keep all that data on it? .. but if she's a PIXAR employee, very powerful indeed I expect.
If it is true, just imagine being that employee who decided to do that clean up ? .. he/she will probably never work in the industry again unless they are an extremely fast talker.Yeah that was one of the things I wondered (along with how, from an IT security point of view, she was allowed to take home the entire project). I also wasn't sure how the files could be deleted while they were in use, but as I'm not familiar with animation software I couldn't say for certain.
As for the lack of backups... unforgivable with something so important (things like that should have at least two backups and no way should they have let them lapse due to issued with the backup system), but unfortunately many companies fail to see the importance of backups so I can believe that bit.
An interesting story if true.

Not that I want to turn this into the political correctness thread but 'he' could have been a 'she' .. jus sayin' .. either way, shittest day at work ever ..Yup... I certainly wouldn't want to have to admit it though. Just think, whenever we're having a bad day at work, "not as bad as that guy"
I suppose he could spin it as "knowledge of obscure commands and shortcut methods of getting work done" or summat.
Escargot,
..People choose them and drive them according to how they feel about themselves. ..
So kindly explain to me why I am driving a 17 year old Diesel Saxo and not the Alpha Romeo Spyder that my character dictates ?

Irish soccer team sorry for falsely reporting player’s death
A death notice for a soccer player was posted in a local newspaper. A game was postponed. Teams across the league held a minute’s silence.
Soccer clubs in the Leinster Senior League in Ireland united over the weekend to honor the memory of a player who was thought to have been killed in a traffic accident last week.
Turns out it was all one big mistake.
Amateur team Ballybrack FC has apologized for a “gross error of judgment” after falsely reporting that one of its players, Fernando Nuno La Fuente, died on Thursday.
La Fuente is, in fact, still alive, the team said.
“This grave and unacceptable mistake was completely out of character and was made by a person who has been experiencing severe personal difficulties unbeknownst to any other members of the club,” Ballybrack said ...
The club said the person in question was fired after an emergency meeting. ...
John Steveson and his wife Marion have always wanted to go to New York, and decided his 70th birthday would be the perfect opportunity.
They splashed out £3,000 on the trip, and were counting down the days but then a call from the US Customs and Border Protection left their dream in tatters.
The cabbie was told by US official that he's now considered a "threat to their national security" and he might struggle to travel to other countries because of the error.
It's understood the amusing incident happened in the Cheetham Hill area of Manchester last week.
Two men were building a fence around a house and had parked their white van carrying their materials on the driveway outside.
They got to work, erecting several posts, and then began to put in the concrete panels.
It is at around this point that they realised their mistake.
