Ever have one of “those” days?

You wake up in the morning, feeling decent. Not great, since your cats/dog/kids/whaterver managed to keep you up too late, or woke you up too early, but decent.

Then things just start to go down-hill.

You’re running a little late getting out of the house, so you decide to skip breakfast, maybe grab something on the way to work. Then you hit traffic. You turn to the local AM traffic station on your radio, and find out that every one of the alternate routes you know is just as FUBARED as the one you’re on.

You resign yourself to the fact that you will be late to work and stick it out.

Then, you get to a toll booth, (In my case a toll both for a bridge,) and realize that you have just enough cash for the fare, but now you are faced with giving up breakfast, or becoming even more late as you try to find an ATM, and then run to a fast-food place. You again decide to skip it and just head into work.

You’re about 40min late, but that’s okay, at least you still have your job, which is better than what many of your co-workers learned when they got in.

Bleh. Today is not going well at all. At least I can still look forward to Red Dwarf Night.

Well, you still managed to get to PA before I did. Damn my GMT-8 time zone…

Argh!

Project due to launch today, and one of the people in another group (the LEAD no less) that should be here is “working” from home.

You’d think, knowing that today is the launch for phase one (its been on all of our schedules), he’d be here in case there was a problem. Guess what, there is – a rather simple problem for him to fix, but not remotely.

And don’t even get me started on the lack of testing time for phase two. Gossip may hate it at times, but I am SO glad I can punch… er… find holes in things quickly.

What would happen if I…? I love asking that question. 🙂

I’m not going to be a blue-haired freak for much longer, since I’m pulling it all out in frustration.

Okay, time to stop venting and go see if they’ve fixed the problems I’ve found yet.

I looks like the virus writers are gearing up for April First.

Today I have received no less than seven virus alerts from our corporate helpdesk. I’m begining to wonder if it’s not all just an elaborate hoax.

In anycase, I’ve updated my virus definitions, and will be running scans on the systems I’m “responsible” for before leaving tonight.

I think I’ll go back to reading Sluggy Freelance now.

Hehehe – I just added myself to my “Foes” list.

I don’t know why, but I find it quite amusing to know that, here at least, I can tune myself out.

Edit: Damn you Goosip, I just spit soda (Coca-Cola of you care) all over my monitor and keyboard! Well, “spit” isn’t the appropriate verb, as the liquid was expelled from my body via the nasal passages (carbonation out the nose, ouch)- is there a word for that?

I just tried adding myself to my foes list, and burst out laughing when I read the error message.
