in high school we had an art contest to design a stamp with a duck on it. I got 4th place. I'm still salty about it. What are you still salty about after all these years?
here's one: when I was starting out, still in school in fact, I had a pretty good idea for a design I was working on, and implemented it. My boss claimed the patent under HIS name, not mine (I still had to go explain it to the patent attorney, mind you!)
