I'm in a good mood today, because I solved a huge problem at work. My colleague developed a certain application for one of our clients, which was riddled with bugs. He's on vacation right now, so I was called in to fix these issues. It had to be done before next Monday. So every day I've been driving 3 hours (including 2 hours of traffic jams) to this company, plunging through the messy spaghetti code this idiot had created. Of course without any documentation whatsoever: I had to figure everything out from scratch. Today, after a few hours of overtime (again), I finally got the thing running as it should. Monday is the big day, because then the application is going live. It's quite important that it works, because huge amounts of money are involved, so I'm still a bit nervous.

Oh man. I hate fixing other people's bugs. Good job, and hope it all ends up working.

[Erwin_Br]

Working on someone elses code is truly horrible. Especially without proper documentation and messy code.

Erwin: I think you would love working with me. Whilst I make as many (or more) bugs compared to other programmers, I'm a documentation-whore and all about neatness.

[Jatsie]

While I know nothing about programming, I happen to prefer modifying other people's endeavours until they meet my requirements, rather than creating something from scratch.

[Squinky]

You have just confirmed that you know nothing about programming.

[Jatsie]

Yay for ignorance!

It's not mutually exclusive, you know.

But I've said far too much already. Hush.

Have a picture in my mind of the Penguins from Madagascar waving flippers around

You didn't see AAAnything... understand?

[pinkgothic]

AFK. For a week.

T'is likely, anyway.

[RLacey]

You mean "'Tis", right? Since the missing letter comes before the "T" ...

Sorry. Have a good week.

[pinkgothic]

I'm fully aware of that, RLacey, but 'tis looks despicable and I like my words aesthetically pleasing. Along the same lines: I detest "eying", too, so I write "eyeing"; though with that, I had to find out that latter is actually valid, which ruins the analogy a bit.

Whilst we're at it, you should double-check your signature capitalisation.

So, in a nutshell - no, I don't mean 'tis.

[RLacey]

What's wrong with my signature capitalisation?

And fair enough. You're still wrong, though .

[pinkgothic]

Try 'username'.

I see no point of this exercise, RLacey. You know I can spell, I know you can spell. We can pick on each other, or we can just accept we probably have reasons for our quirks. I'm assuming you have yours for the capital 'U'. But, to quote you, "You're still wrong, though".

[RLacey]

Ah, well that capital "U" is there because it's marked as "Username" on the page where you need to change it. So I'm actually naming the thing that needs changing.

Or something...

Except actually it should read "Nick Name". Oh well. I can't change it, because the signature is longer than the new length limit allows .

[pinkgothic]

Like I said. You probably have your reason.

"You're still wrong, though".

Edit - Oh, kung fu editing! Well, you've been foiled. There you have it. I think we can safely drop this subject now and forget either of us ever nitpicked anything.

[RLacey]

Of course. And I never meant it too seriously, anyway.

[pinkgothic]

Mutual foiling. How fun!

Anyway, thank you for the well-wishes that I previously ignored in favour of professional-if-pointless mudwrestling (yet another chapter in "I Fight Dirty").

I'll try to have a good week.
I expect you and everyone else at AG to do the same.

Though, come to think of it, with me gone, no one's going to stop The Impostor from going on a nonsensical posting spree.

Oh well.

Not my problem.

*flees from wrath into her week of work*

[The Impostor]

Come on, RLacey, we must hold an intervention. This "T'is" must be stopped. That said, I do like intentionally disobeying the rules of Grandma. And I can be bribed.
