........, quam minimum credula postero
"carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero"
[B"]seize the day, put little trust in tomorrow"[/B]. is the full quote. (btw - it's a nice bar trick to finish the quote when someone says the first two words). one of my favorite contractor superintendents had a heart attack and died Sunday. nuts!, this guy looked like he was carved from a piece of granite. i once jumped into a hole to take a measurement not thinking about how i was gonna climb out. he reached down and damn near lifted me out with his arm. i mean, i helped..i didnt let go. my hand strength was impressive! we would solve some damn near impossible problems together. he was expensive on a time/material project, but worth every penny. i got to get more done in my life. have a krap load more fun and build up some memories.

Sorry to hear about that, Vash.
Great quote, I’ll have to try and remember that.

Sorry to hear.
My first job out of college landed me in a place with a lot of long-term employees; most had kids older than me at the time. It was tough when I started losing trusted mentors and colleagues... |

In pidgin English that clearly says, "Sieze the day, you have a small but credible posterior." That might not be the message you want to convey. Be careful who you're talking to.
