the warmth (incubus)

i didn't get to inspection yesterday morning, although i did arrive on base in time for it - i started my day patching a report; the kid and i tested it when he arrived. all seemed good. we arranged to put it into production. when everything seemed to be going fine, i went in search of our previous TL, and we sat on some our problems together.

when i got back to the office, i discovered that the kid had just had an aweful half-hour - something had gone wrong with the reports, and the client section idiots don't understand that if three people phone someone who's supposed to be fixing something, to tell him how important and urgent it is that he fix it, then he's not going to be able to fix it.

we spent the rest of the day working on various things, i managed to reduce some of our workload from monday / tuesday - the only thing is that i don't really want to learn this much about these systems. i don't want to deal with anything even remotely like these systems again as long as i live.

i am not a frikkin' DBA.

i pretty much learned to juggle during our last half hour (cleaning our offices. we should do it more often). i went to work, and aside from shipping off to meet with nystire, it was a decent evening's work. spot and i left arguing over design problems, and stopped by cafeneto before coming home.

on coming home, we discovered that my firewall's giving me shit, so i have to turn it off to blog and check mail. that's retarded.

when i woke up this morning i discovered that spot had locked my pc. i couldn't for the life of me remember the password - i only set it because of the builders, and i haven't typed it in for six months. it took much guessing, turned out to be one of the dumbest passwords i could've picked. oh, well.

aside from laundry and shopping, i've done NOTHING today. i've been watching the alien bonus cd, which is awesome. for me, seeing giger at work and seeing so much of his concept art is just amazing.

now i'm off to the zinc. my cellphone battery hasn't died yet, i'm fairly confident it'll happen at the most inconvenient moment. but i'm even more impressed by it now - over 7 days :)
