We all do stupid things ??

At lunch today we all got in the car to go to town. Upon returning to my car, it decided to rain.. Heavily… So I start to run to my car, which is a faint object obscured by the rain bouncing in my face. I get to the car, put the key in the lock and it does not turn.

The locks have been playing up on the car anyway, so I try again until I notice a baby seat in the back of the car. I stop and take a second look only to find that its not my car, not only that the owner of the car is running towards me.

We all do stupid things right ? Please is it only me ? :-S

The Death of our office

The week has finally come and all the desks are being moved in our office, as we wind down to close on Friday.

There is random desks in the middle of the floor in the office, and where there used to be rows of staff there is now empty space. Its a little sad as I have been working here for the past 3 years.

I told you so - part 2

Well finally someone has actually responded, and we are now migrating the server tomorrow morning. Its amazing how fast things can get done, this is a record for this place!

I told you so!

After a discussion that happened over 2 months ago, I decided to see if anyone had listened to me.

Here is an excerpt of that discussion. ” The server will be removed at the end of April. If you dont copy it you will be stuck”

So we decided that we would take it offline to see what happened. Sure enough the phone started ringing and the guy on the other end in a panic. So I said , “Oh its not working? is there any error messages ?”.

Anyway we have told them again that they need to copy it etc etc, but we dont believe that they will take this seriously so we have ‘de-optimised’ apache to run like a dog to get them thinking.
