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.
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.

Originally posted by mudskipper View PostMy 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.
Bit worse than my adding a couple of variables to some embedded code & breaking the PC downloader.Comment

(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)Comment
