grrrr...

what a completely shite wakeup. i had WAY too little sleep, and then went to teach my new charge (the first one, at least :P) math (and english, supposedly). the kid is 15 years old, and he doesn't have the first clue about addition and subtraction. this is the first time i've been faced with the problems of having calculators so readily available for children.

and that's aside from the fact that i have to keep speaking in hebrew.

SxS picked me up, and we went to the good shuwarma place for lunch. we then picked up mmf, and went off to oracle.

first: they made us wait. after they'd already postponed out meeting for an hour, we sat in their meeting room (at least they have good air-conditioning) for over 15 minutes.
bastards.
then, when the person we had to meet finally arrived, she demonstrated a REALLY bad attitude.
i wonder if oracle knows about these people.
anyway, we now have our core project finished, and we've learned how to use oracle's obscure workflow application through just about any language. now we just need to rassle us up some fake QA documents, and we're home free. ^v^

we went to yogi's place for an hour or so, where i set up his project for deployment, and made some important patches to our application. mmf gave me a ride to work.
we got lost, and stuck in traffic.
i accidentally took his phone with me.
he's a little upset.

at least i learned how to divert all phone calls to a different number, that's very cool.

so far, work has been busy - we have an official visit from one of the guys from the US. must please the bosses.
*sigh* back to work
