exploding concrete



... i didn't finish last night. turns out our support side doesn't have a QA team. apparently, we're the first people to use the new api, and that means bug-finding on OUR side. that's SERIOUSLY professional of them. all i could do was clean up my code to production level, and now i just have to wait for the fixes to come in.

assholes.

just before midnight, i said goodbye and left work. i got myself a beer on the way home, and was planning on combining it with the final episode of prison break, before crashing like a king. my plan was foiled when i discovered that some pricks had renamed full-length pr0n to prison.break.e01s22.xvid.hdtv.lol (or whatever). good pr0n, but not prison break. FUCKERS!!!

so i settled for the first half of titan ae, and then went to bed disappointed. i needed closure, dammit!

bedtime was about 2am. i slept beautifully. until 8.30am. the sound of concrete exploding right outside my door was enough to get me up. i'm completely paranoid that they're going to forget which side of the corridor they're supposed to be working on.

so no chance of me getting back to sleep. now i've got rammstein and slipknot playing full-blast in the hope that they'll somehow get the hint. i already called the contractor again. i reminded him that he promised to get back to me yesterday. i got silence in return. i asked him what's going on. he replied, in a stupid voice, "i'll get back to you."

"like yesterday? great. bye." wtf? how do i deal with something like that?

i dunno what today's gonna look like, but if i have electricity and no new holes by the end of their work-day, i'll be extremely happy.
