Your move Mr. Bond...]]> General http://wangnet.org/index.php?itemid=862 Wed, 1 Sep 2010 19:33:39 -0500 http://wangnet.org/index.php?itemid=860
Here I was all set to texting that crazy broad, who has a family but didn't tell me at the time - thank you Myspace, for a lark but this might be more interesting.

I am a bit fuzzy on details for this Ali. We shall see.

God.. is it 9am already? It feels like I have been here forever!]]> General http://wangnet.org/index.php?itemid=860 Wed, 1 Sep 2010 08:56:41 -0500 http://wangnet.org/index.php?itemid=858 General http://wangnet.org/index.php?itemid=858 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 09:16:11 -0500 http://wangnet.org/index.php?itemid=856
Beginning rumblings were made about it's always Head's fault (he's the victim) - not a good sign.

Grand statements were uttered about us not understanding the significance of the 'I have a Dream' speech let alone that Head was not the center and provider of a "fun time". It was indeed one of "those nights".

I would have figured such nonsense of having to ram-rod a good time according to Head's current criteria were over. No, not so much. It's as if he needs to impress upon everyone else that he is indeed what makes things fun and brings it all together. Let's forget the palpable rage towards D and the awkward silence after each incident. The half looks across to people that know them - steeling themselves for the inevitable fight between brothers.

There is no relaxing. There is no just chilling. Things must be done to his standards or shit will fly. Everyone can't hear Marley? Then people must sing it. If you talk instead of sing that's a fail. If we decided that music is not needed and Head decides otherwise - fail. This of course gets all wrapped back into the "Glen Beck" folk for not understanding the significance of today. Really? That's the end game, cover it all, argument for such a well worn path? Wow.

Regardless those three leave, I depart later, and head home. It was found out that we are *not* moving code tonight so I head out to find Luke. Luke was chipper and had nothing but positives about his family. Andrea was seeming better than her scare and down cast self from the previous night. Eventually Paul the Cook and I got wrapped into this bachelorette party (yes I bought Boss and the Bride-to-Be shots), chatted with them for a long time outside, and promised Boss that I would show up to her place later after I got the bar situated and closed down.

I call them 30 minutes later, get drunk directions, fail to find that party of tail (Paul left with them) and went home. Dear me... what a night.]]> General http://wangnet.org/index.php?itemid=856 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 03:46:55 -0500 http://wangnet.org/index.php?itemid=854
I had support give her a jingle (I can't call her directly - protocol!) and she comes back with "Nope.. everything is hunky dory here!". I could only say "LIAR! Your pants are surely on fire!". I go down to support and explain (and show them) what's up - waving off her other questions to them about deleting something out of this system or another and press upon them that she can't access part of the system and we need her to cop to that so we can put a request in to have me data fix it.

Sheesh.

What does it take for a man to HELP his customers/users before he throws his hands up and say "damn if I didn't warn ya!".]]> Work http://wangnet.org/index.php?itemid=854 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 15:48:48 -0500 http://wangnet.org/index.php?itemid=852
(ir)Regardless of happy-morning-whee-I-got-sleep mood I get to work to find three more projects having problems due to Sticks' bungled procedure move two days ago. *sigh*

Sticks attempts to explain this is a different issue... then we worm out the truth that this was fallout from his procedure he 'fixed' for the move. I sigh again. Louder. We do a quick search and see there might be a few other projects that have this problem in the future, and so Mark and I ask Sticks if he preemptively fixes those will it not screw up their data? His response "I don't know... probably not... I really don't know what's going on in the conversion".

Ah.. what?

Ten minutes of more hyped up discussion around those comments we came out more annoyed at Sticks and how he can't know something he's been billing time to FIXING... grrr...

I should just get a new job somewhere else and run away.]]> Work http://wangnet.org/index.php?itemid=852 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 10:08:57 -0500 http://wangnet.org/index.php?itemid=850
More like 5 nights (with flight) for $1129.00 per person. Hmm.... no food or transportation there.. plus baggage fees... Hmm.. that could be do-able..

Screw savings accounts.]]> General http://wangnet.org/index.php?itemid=850 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 14:23:31 -0500 http://wangnet.org/index.php?itemid=848
On a mild note after reporting up the chain of command how the move went well sans Sticks' obvious failure we both (Sticks and I) received an "atta boy". Great.

Off to learn sharepoint development!

FMJ some days...]]> Work http://wangnet.org/index.php?itemid=848 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 13:35:48 -0500 http://wangnet.org/index.php?itemid=846
Falloutboy was getting the emails and he looked into. Sticks changed a condition that said 'select all these things in this table for this project and period.. if it equals one then delete crap'. Ah.. wait a minute. It's a given that table will have more than one and we need to delete if it's greater than one.. so a simple "if crap exists in this table for this project and period delete it". One can't pass a condition if you have 50 things and are checking if 50=1. Fucking fuckity fuck fuck.

Now off to "appraise" my current boss of what's up... make the correction to the procedure... and roll back to the old one.]]> Work http://wangnet.org/index.php?itemid=846 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 08:49:21 -0500
