The permies are all offsite today planning next years stuff. Due to the fact that I'm hungover and don't give a tulip, I have declined to attend

FTFY

Hello again

Lunch was chicken breast, perhaps not a factory chicken as it had some texture and taste, some new potatoes (going well up to now), carrots, but then for some reason an apricot in amongst the carrots. This apricot added nothing of value imho.

Feck me, I dunno what ZeitMater did or where she found the carrots for yesterday's lunch, but it must be said that they were really foul.

Which is difficult to understand, really, since how can you feck up a carrot?

Other than by boiling the saucepan dry, which is ZeitMater's other trick.

Not good with non stick pans.

NorrMater is from the 1940's school of cookery, everything must be boiled or cremated.

My first week in current contract, I'd inherited someone else's workflow escalation code. I'd made some changes to the timer logic, but forgotten to assign it back to the actual timer, so effectively it escalated instantly. Over and over, looking in AD for each person's line manager. Managed to send a misspelt (my predecessor's spelling!) email to about 10 increasingly senior managers before it finally got to head honcho and fell over because it couldn't find his manager.

Whooops.

Bit worse than my adding a couple of variables to some embedded code & breaking the PC downloader.

Sods law, I get a job offer but it's back in blighty

How very dare you. I'm not hungover today (for once).

You're right about not giving a tulip though

Very wise.

I never attend any of the bulltulipe meetings.

There's an all day event down in Oxwich for the unfortunates, next Thursday.

So what's next on the plan? time off, new gig, permanent hangover?

[zeitghost]

That's one of my examples that I use in my Workflow training course

(Not the bit about changing the timer, but not checking the number of times to escalate and ending up failing because the top boss has no supervisor)

I'm glad to say that I can't understand any of that.

All of the above
