A while back one of our districts was in a bind. The found that copying to new over and over again did not remove the references in the details to the original detail list. In effect - they fill out one screen (with one to many lines of detail), copy to new, delete the copied lines, and add new ones actually over wrote the original detail lines too.

Whoops. Long standing bug no one else has ever noticed (it came up due to the specific type of items that site was using).

Support didn't really help so they back channeled me. Nifty. A quick meeting with the new current lead developer and we found the issue and a work around for the mean time. Sweet. That project and continue working and making $$.

A few days after that the individual who found the issue wanted to send a 'thank you' email to my boss and the lead's boss. Cool. A few names and off they go. A super nice email comes back with me and the lead CC'd on it.

Now my buddy's boss writes back a very nice reply to it... and there is no word from my boss. Hmm. The bug-finder emailed me today and asked if my boss hated me. I was unsure the context until she showed me the passive receipt on the 'thank you' email she sent out - it showed Jefe having "deleted email without reading it".

Ouch. That stings Jefe.

I had my two hour presentation on 'Reporting Service Basics' today. It went by fine with the exception I last minute ditched my sixty power point slides and went for live demo. I was only at a loss for words about twice when I had to catch up with what was going on.

Not bad.. my 'feedback' has been positive. Mostly 5's.. there was one 4... and the general comment was I was hyper informative but talked "a bit fast". Well fuckers - to cram everything reporting service into two hours takes a lot of fucking talking.

On the plus side I did shit for work-work all day.. got free pizza.. and a 500gb external hard drive for doing the talk. W00t!

It seems today was an interesting day for lunches.

It's now day 2 of me being left as acting captain.

Bloopers graced us with his presence four minutes into the standup meeting...
meeting? opted to not show up for the meeting even when I tried to extend it.. Alas he was here at 9.13 or so

Yesterday both were not here until 9.15 or 9.20... thus missing the meeting completely.

Strange calls from Falloutboy at midnight (CST). Vendor parties sound great!

Cryptic emails from Jefe shoving work off on me... let's see how this goes.

On a side note - it seems my BiggestFan has left and is now fully consumed by WoW. Sad... just sad.
