How I knew today was going to be a great day.Follow

8:05 am.

Ran a simple database query to clean up a few (5) rows in a table. Accidentally had the wrong lines highlighted, ended up modifying 1172378 rows in the database.

8:10 am.

After realizing that I just impacted 200+ stores balancing, scramble to get DB restoration processes started.

8:30 am.

Disabled the appliation that uses this datbase so no new enteries can't be created, and subsequently lost.

10:11 am.

Restore complete. Data looks good, only lost 10 mins of data entry total. They lost 2 hours of work, but hardly any data.

As punishment, I'm taking myself out for Chinese.

This is why I don't try to do any actual work before 10:00 am.

Take that as a lesson young man. Working until very late at night, then coming back in early in the morning makes Frak's brain ... something something.

I wish I could give my boss that excuse.

Doing wierd shifts like that is pretty commonplace around here. Perils of working for a 24hour retail chain...

Last night, they overhauled the program I use here in the office. It's now 33% prettier and 188% more frustrating to use.

Smiley: mad

I broke a shoelace this morning. Screwed my drive to work all up. [:clubfoot:]

Yeah, this morning was tough. I drive along a waterway to get to work each morning on a road going down the escarpment that has no side roads, so it's a straight shoot. The problem is the legal speed limit is 50km/h (35mph). Well, since there is very little chance of an accident, most people fly down that stretch no slower than 80km.h (50mph), and up to 140km/h (75mph).

Anyway, I'm on my morotcyle this morning and I come to the intersection entering this stretch of road and the driver of a pickup truck coming the other way pops his head out and lets me know that there is a speed trap setup this morning.

I had to do the speed limit the whole way down the hill! It was horrible. On the bright side, at least I got to laugh at the suckers coming the other way who got tagged and pulled over.


So yeah, sucky start to the morning.

I went to bed early last night, so woke up early. Got in a workout and good breakfast. Got to work early, checked my email and found one from the boss saying he ate something last night that gave him food poisoning.

So it looks like a day of ******** off and upping my post count.




Not that it's much different from any other day...

About six calls to the help desk so far today, only two requiring someone to come out to my office here in Siberia, on the bazillionth floor.

However, it's a sunny day and although ugly to look at, I have a window. YAY!!!

I've been working on that as well. I fill up one 5(five) gallon bucket every day.

I should be done in about two weeks.

6 dogs, 4 poops/day, 5 months (150 days) = 3600 poops to clean up :)

your dogd **** 4x a day???? What the hell are you feeding them? My dog only goes twice a day. Thanks. You just made me feel a little bit better. It only took me an hour and a large garbage bag.

over the course of 24 hours, on average they'll go 4x / day.

Greyhounds have super fast metabolisms, they make lots of poopie..they all eat 2 cups twice a day of high protien, filler free food.

Very few treats are ever given. Treats are usually pieces of their dog food.

They are just sh[Antiquewhite][/Antiquewhite]itty dogs.

I even have an automatic sh[red]it box for kitty. This means I just handle little plastic trays full of **** every so often. And did I mention he used to hump my elbow while I slept? Cats ftw!!

I'd love to get one of those automatic scooper boxes.

I despise cleaning the cat boxes.

I'd rather scooop dog sh[Blanchedalmond][/Blanchedalmond]it.

BT - If I hump your elbow, will you feed me and clean up my ****?

You had him at "hump your elbow".
