Who's?

Mine. (I'm sick

Get well soon.

Time sure does go by quickly. It seems like I was just hired at this place last week, but I'm getting my five year recognition tonight.

ivan · « **Reply #1781 on:** March 16, 2007, 01:45:10 PM »

I've been working here for five years, and I still haven't finished some of the projects I started on in my first week.

I am SO SICK of correcting my coworkers code. She doesn't follow conventions, she doesn't indent, she doesn't use good names for her variables (ie, myISBN, or myInteger), she doesn't use intelligent spacing within her code, no inline documentation, she doesn't capitalize her queries, she doesn't qualify her table names, she doesn't use locking hints....

Am I asking too much here??? I wish I could fire her...

Hey cat... didn't you work with that programmer before, at your last job?

Sloppy code without documentation makes for job security. She is actually probably an evil genius.

Never assume malicious intent when gross incompetence will suffice.

I may not be evil, and I may not be a genius, but by golly I've got job security! Mostly due to time constraints. I mean, do you want it now, or do you want it documented?

pbsaurus · « **Reply #1787 on:** March 16, 2007, 03:59:30 PM »

OK that answers that question. Now who is the remaining one?

pbsaurus · « **Reply #1788 on:** March 16, 2007, 04:00:34 PM »

I document things before I hand them over to one of my lesser peers. This usually happens when I'm given some impossible task where I won't have time to do the old stuff anymore.

ivan · « **Reply #1789 on:** March 16, 2007, 04:05:43 PM »

I don't consider a project completed until I have documented it thoroughly.

I have yet to complete a project.

I'm a server admin. It's my motto.

My motto is,

If I'm going to be an ass, I might as well be a smart one.

Is it possible that I knew both of you when you quit smoking? Nah, just Biz. When was I born, 2002? Wow.

Demosthenes · « **Reply #1794 on:** March 16, 2007, 05:32:20 PM »

February 27, 2001.

The SECOND time around, that is.

So you guys probably didn't hear us, but me and Detta were just talking...

I was telling her I saw our old friend John Hutchison on TV last night.

Detta's all like "NOOOOE WAAAAAYYY!", and I'm telling her, "Yup, I kid you not."

pbsaurus · « **Reply #1798 on:** March 16, 2007, 06:39:22 PM »

Of the Hutchison Effect?

ivan · « **Reply #1799 on:** March 16, 2007, 06:53:54 PM »

The same!

He's got long salt-and-pepper hair, and believes there's a mini black hole in the Bermuda triangle connected through a mini wormhole to a mini white hole somewhere else on Earth, which pretty much explains everything.

HE'S A GENIUS!

(Actually, he was only one of several... uh... scientists... interviewed about this. Sometimes the History Channel goes over the deep end.)
