Dear work,

This whole work thing? You know, where I'm supposed to come to work and do work and all?

Yeah, that's not working for me right now.

Love,

Steffan
Note to self:

Declaring a variable as equal to ""

Regardless of the practices in the Microsoft KB.

This just caused me no end of grief at work.

Can I sue?
performance review today, probably a raise as a result of it, and perhaps talk of schedule change and permanence of this programming position.

long work rant behind the cut )
  • go down the hill, past the bus stop, and get on the freeway, go past the art museum, and chinatown
  • stay on 76 past the first anthracite coal buring power plant.... get off the freeway at the second anthracite power plant,
  • pass by the sewage treatment plant, and the rendering facility.... go over the betsy ross bridge towards the swamp.
  • stay on 73 off the bridge, keep heading towards the swamp.
  • at the roadhouse the swamp road will merge onto 73...
  • when you start heading into strip malls, you know you are almost there...
  • as you pass the bowling alley, begin counting "Duncan Doughnuts" stores,
  • when you pass the fifth one, get in the right hand lane,
  • you should almost immediately pass a "Denny's" and an adult video store. (if you don't you've miscounted your "dunkin doughnuts" outlets.)
  • Turn right at the very next cracker barrel restaurant and you are THERE.

"hello, service "X", how may i help you?"

(translation: how do i get you to go away as quickly as possible?)

"um yes, maybe you can...i'm not sure if i'm calling the right place, but.."

(translation: i have a minor crisis that i'd like to blow way out of proportion)

"i'll do my best...may i have your account /order/personal identifier?"

(i'll do only enough to get you off my phone as soon as possible)

"thanks! it's 'long series of random alpha numeric characters' "

(I'm just going to call back nine times about the same issue within the next hour anyhow, because i am unsatisfied with your resolution.)

"ah i see, the order/problem/service, is clearly completed/resolved/impossible to resolve/which should have been evident/could not be determined without significant effort/easily."

(this is the ninetieth time i have relayed this information today,)

"ah, i see, thank you."

(i do not understand and am preparing to call again, in hopes that your illogical and patently un customer driven system can be better deciphered by a different customer service drone with less of an attitude.)

"thanks for using service "X" and have a nice day!"

(you are incompetent)

"you too!"

(you too!)
