Random amusement today from the office:

I was tasked with copying an old stored procedure, reviewing it, fixing anything outdated, renaming to the new system's conventions, and dropping it in the new database. Easy cheesy, right? The only new code was one minor thing changed in four places. I reported it back to my boss's right hand man, and went on with my other work.

An hour or so later he strolls in, and has me pull up that stored procedure. I was thinking, "what did I gloss over?" and "did I make a mistake somewhere?". The first thing he does is inform me that I misspelled an input variable. Wheew.. two characters later and a 'find-replace all', I turn and wait for the rest. All I was greeted with was "KTHNXBYE!" and my door slamming closed. Woah.. seriously? An email would have sufficed to bring it to light, but to walk over, have me log in and access that server, and then pull it up to do a 'find replace'?

It seems time is not as a precious of a commodity as I thought or led to believe. Heh..
