Tell me why (I don't like Mondays)
Feb. 1st, 2010 12:52 pmMornings like this remind me of why people sometimes choose to snipe from rooftops.
I think that Alberta and Saskatchewan drivers exist only to remind the rest of us that there really are people who drive worse than Manitobans.
I ground enough fine-grind coffee this morning to make a full pot of Java goodness at work today, and then forgot it in the grinder when I left for work this morning. I can't use fine-grind at home, so I guess I'll have to bag it up and decent-but-not-quite-fresh coffee when I get in tomorrow.
While I wasenjoying drinking a cup of office coffee this morning, I was frantically patching and re-running things that failed overnight because of another network outage that cause two of my Access databases to fail, and one of them to corrupt to the point where I had to restore from a recent backup. When I finally got everything updated, I noticed that one of the reports still had not published. On further investigation I discovered that some moron (possibly me, though I will neither confirm nor deny that) had saved over one of the critical spreadsheets with a different one. It was easy enough, if somewhat fiddly and time-consuming to fix.
On a less grumpy note, I heard a radio ad this morning that made me chuckle. There is a local furniture/bedding company that has these wonderfully low-budget ads (if I say the phrase You'll find us! then all of the locals on my list will probably know of whom I speak). In the ad this morning, the owner of the business was describing a new line of sofa-beds he was bringing in, but he spent more than half of the ad apologizing to his delivery guys because "these things are ridiculously heavy." He mentioned how much he hated moving them when he was a furniture delivery guy himself.
This ad struck a sympathetic chord with me because I vividly remember moving them when I delivered furniture for a living. The only things worse than the sofa-beds were the adjustable beds
( Finally some grumping about WoW, behind a cut of geekery. )
