People who wander over to your desk when you have literally got stacks of contracts and folders all over the place and ask you if you have time for a "quick" screen share.

Fuck off, I fell for that one this morning when I got called into a meeting for 10 minutes then spent 3 hours explaining how our IT system works to the MD.

Audi drivers.

A long drive back from the west highlands at the weekend, everyone on the road in that nigh 2 hour journey was considerate and respectful except for three people - all Audis. Fucking pricklets. An A5 driving 1 inch off my bumper at 70 mph, then an A3 saloon doing the "weave" just off my bumper on a single lane 60 mph (queue of cars) followed by a fucking bell-end on the M8 between Glasgow and Edinburgh in a TT.

Sitting in a hospice with Mrs Yuck, next to an old lady who is dieing. Knowing that Mrs Yuck is going to be a complete fucking mess at some point very soon.

:( :fluffle:

Thanks chaps, been at the hospice since 4:30am having got the "you need to get here" phonecall. The old dear passed away peacefully at 7:00pm. Been a long day, and emotional.
I love Mrs Yuck deeply and hate to see her upset, but she's been brave.
So going to crack open some of those Stellas mentioned elsewhere :)


PS: Being a grown up sucks :/

Jesus man, I thought you were saying that your Mrs was a patient in the bloody hospice too!

I was thinking 'he's taking this very well.'

I'll be taking away the 'The' from 'the fuck' :)

Crap. I didn't realise you knew the "old lady", I thought it was a shared room or something and you were there for other reasons. Sorry for your loss. :(

Mrs Yuck has been looking after her in a professional capacity for 8 years or so. She thought of Mrs Yuck as a daughter. She was diagnosed with cancer a year ago.
Her son turned up after 20 years of not seeing her. The first thing he asked about while the poor woman was still warm, I mean within 5 minutes of her last breath, was about her will, cunt.

after working an 18 hour day, I decided just now that my data is useless. not because it is actually useless, but because I will never be able to explain to my management what it means in a way that they will understand :-(

Whenever I hear someone say something like this a quote by a certain A.Einstein always comes mind,

"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."

I prefer this one from Ford Prefect:

"You’re a load of useless, bloody loonies!!"

Its a lot of data on relative loads during the lifecycle of different java processes during the distribution of an in-memory clustered database.

Please don't make me explain load in relation to a given process' life to my management. Einstein is correct, but on the other hand he's never met the staff of BigCompany :-(

I also think that a lot of the time they dont really care how it works or how it will work bewt they just like to change things so they can be seen to be managing

Ive had a few cases since this summer where i had made a nice elegant solution which was rejected in favor of a horrible hack, once we hit the limitations of the hack the "new solution" ended up being the one i proposed and implemented months earlier (i always save these so i can easily insert them back in when wind changes)

I've found a way to combine what I already had with a simple way of being able to explain it to my management. All I have to do is a small bit of excel work. Because I am now using something the management drone knows about, my work, my life, and general added value to the customer has become just that much more. Think licking a nice Porsche rather than looking at pictures of one.
