STOP THE CLOCK!!

just after 16.30 i was finally informed that i've been given leave... it'll take effect tomorrow afternoon if i manage to sort my shit out, and once taken will leave me with one single day of mandatory service left - that's cutting it seriously close. "tight" had this in mind, it feels like something out of a movie.

so today was highly stressed. at some point i thought "sod it" and had a cigarette, and sat quietly being mildly stoned for a short while, before getting back to my combination of spider solitaire and trying to keep my shit together.

then i walked into work, and my boss was around for the first time in a couple of weeks. the first sentence out of my mouth after "hi" was "i'm outta here".

granted, i said it a little more politely than that, but basically i've quit and i'll be closing shop and helping out here and there until they can properly do without me. i had a chat with the boss about the current situation and all the things i've been complaining about, but he's not really interested in what i have to say.

nystire arrived to pick up his biltong, and we went out for tortillas.

i cleared out my virtual desk, and here's what i had to save:

// create an object;
$sf = new SFFX;
// set the parameters
$sf->set_post($_POST); // pass the form variables + validation
$sf->set_act($arg); // pass the values that we got back from ACT +
validation
$sf->set_cookie($cookie); // pass the user's cookie preprocessed in an
array
+ validation
// do the action
$success = $sf->create(); // check wether post, cookie were called
(="validation"), just do the stuff
// continue accordingly
if ($success) {
do something with $fs->record_id...
}
else {
do something with $sf->error...
}
// This is what I call object oriented, "Mr DoItAllInOneFunction"

so tomorrow's gonna start with a lecture on stress-management: well-deserved, i haven't been dealing with mine correctly. in related news, i just had a freak-out because after finishing this post, i managed to press a key combination that told firefox to drop my current window and pressed OK, and i don't know how.

boy, have i thanked the googles for the recovery function.
