Sick^2

I have allergies that flare up and prevent me from breathing on a regular basis. When I get sick, it is double duty damage. I already can't breathe, then with the cold or whatever sickness I can breathe even less. Not to mention when I start to choke on sputum or phlegm, I can't breathe through my nostrils, so I am semi suffocating. It is very unpleasant and somewhat scary. To top it all off, my hearing is no good right now due to sickness.

This is a very good example of how stupid the human body is. Allergies being the starting point and being sick the secondary point.

Session State

All I have to say about this is I am intrigued. We are experimenting by putting the session state into sql server, so far it is painless and interesting. I checked out the session tables and I have no idea what it is doing. I want to learn more about this.

Judas

I got sick last week sometime around 12/6/10 or so. I have not been very well since then. At work we are migrating from mySQL to SQL Server thankfully. Just for the record, I don't think mySQL is horrible, but SQL Server is better if you have a larger application that has a lot of data and requires reporting. Easy to work with and it is part of the MS family of products so integration is simple. We are also converting a lot of our shitty hard coded reports to SSRS.

Anyhow we are testing the application and we involved some of our users. They so far are surprised that there are bugs, I don't understand why and my boss is also surprised... because he is a no nothing idiot. If he ever developed a goddamn thing in his life he would know that when you convert an application's backend from on flavor of SQL to another, you will have issues. It is irresponsible to think otherwise. So the users complained to their boss instead and my boss is behind them 100%.

He is a fucking Judas mother fucker.

Unfortunately, my lead developer doesn't have balls and takes shit from my boss when he shouldn't. My boss is ruining us.

Wording

I hate it when someone can criticize someone else's wording, but they can't seem to help either. I work too fucking hard with some of these asshole clients directly on consistent issues. I am the come to guy for some of these problems. I am pissed off that I can be criticized for telling them the truth in a certain phrasing.

I simply said:

I need everyone to be happy with a common solution.

I was told that sentence is too harsh. Admittedly I should have said we, but since I am the person always dealing with this shit I said "I".

Other than that, I don't see the fucking problem. Stop being overly sensitive.

Fix the Obvious!

One inherent flaw of larger companies is the misguided concept that you have to make due with what you have. I disagree terribly. This is company executives being a bunch a bunch of punk ass pricks. They can always find it in their hearts to give each other raises, but they can't seem to listen to the small guys that drive their fucking business to make shit work.

I am tired of fighting with my stupid ass no nothing, out of date, manager. The guy is a bullshit artist and he is slimy too. It is very upsetting and unsettling to work under him. I have no trust for this jack hole. We have some major programmatic issues that need to be solved, yet he doesn't listen and he doesn't prioritize.

We own the companies we make the software for, but he wants us to treat them as customers. I would treat them as customers if they didn't behave like children and I didn't have to work directly with the user on issues. We don't have a call center, the two mooks we refer to as support are totally useless and know shit about our technologies.

I am tired of this working situation where the idiots drive the way we do things. Then they take the credit they didn't earn when things go well and they deal out blame for when things go wrong. Plain and simple this is backwards, just like in government...

I hate people... greedy at heart, like a cancer.

Priorities

One ounce of good news, my blower motor works again? I don't know how to be perfectly honest. I am confused.

I need to re prioritize what is going on in my life currently. As always money is issue number one. I need to put heavy emphasis on my diet and exercises most of all. I need to find time to relax and find time to work too. This is going to be tough.

Things are not going well with the house hunt. One word down payment. I hate this stupid ass process for down payments and closing costs. Shit is crazy right now. Foreclosures and short sales fuck us over because they hardly negotiate and the closing costs and home inspections are out of pocket expenses.

Fuck this shit.

My Trivial Complaint of the Day

Why the fuck is it that in certain bathroom stalls there is a fucking piece of shit toilet paper dispenser that has an empty cardboard tube on it, then directly above it there is a metal cage hiding the other roll of paper that is impossible to get out and use. What the fuck.

I want us to have the goddamn three sea shells already!
