It's Friday afternoon, production is down, and sysadmins cannot be reached. At least it's Not My Problem.

It's a fiftieth of mine.
Always assuming the other end can accept it that fast, of course.

Status: Cleaning up a project that was maintained by a former underling, I've discovered that about 95% of the database interaction is using in-line SQL instead of stored procs. This is expressly forbidden in our written development standards, which I know he read. To make it worse, about half of the in-line SQL has serious overlaps. We're talking things like:
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM Table1 WHERE Identity = @Identity
In one method and
SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3 FROM Table1 WHERE Identity = @Identity
In another method.
On the plus side, I've been able to use this as leverage to get code reviews added to the official workflow.

Status: Dress down day next week. Should I mention I wear a polo and jeans every day

Just signed a big contract, going to go buy a bottle of expensive booze to celebrate.

Which type?
That comment was TRWTF. Does it really matter?
-
Will you pop your collar next week, then?

Status: somehow ended up on a Gigi D'Agostino binge. Half of these songs make me sad for some unexplained reason.

.... are you going to share any of it with us?
:-P

No one calls turtlenecks "polo necks" I refuse to believe that.
Well, you call a golf shirt a polo shirt, so who knows what else is possible?
-
-
-
I think this is more like soda vs pop vs coke.
-
Golf or tennis shirt is definitely acceptable, although I think of those as shirts that are usually made out of polyester instead of cotton.

I now feel utterly over-nerded in the "knowledge of obscure(ish) old games" category.

It only comes out once a year. Luckily I know a guy who squirrels some away. ;) I have a friend who buys all of it he can get his hands on when it hits the shelves.

These are not numbers, they are strings. Your brain must not do typecasting? ;)

Flagged.

You are perpetuating rapeseed culture. You want the MRA forum on the next droplet over.

It depends on what you were flagged for (in both senses of 'what')...

next droplet
Speaking of which, @sam how long until you next ask @apapadimoulis to switch droplets?

how miserable I feel at work, and knowing it won't get better any time soon, especially due to a project that will turn into a crunch time/bunch of overtime due to bad planning and more and more items being tacked on
Updated Status: I was wrong. Things got better after I talked to my boss on the 13th about the state of things. The project is still looming but pressure is off a bit due to a second look at what was left and estimating time and finding out we were actually somewhat ahead, but...
Second Status: Pressure is off because the PM managing the project quit last night, and in the discussions about it by the rest of us, find out that he was wanting us to work a bunch of overtime for more personal reasons and not for the business. We'll have to do a bit to get everything set up on time, but it feels less stressful now.

You have aroused my curiosity.

Most I'll hint is:
- This, apparently, isn't the first time this has happened with him.
- He's been married more than once.
Kinda thinking I shouldn't be posting about it, especially since some of my co-workers know this screen name is tied to me, but meh, if it'll cause issues, I'll flag it myself.
