When you get to a non working device at home that was working when you used it earlier. Then you ask the partner and she shrugs her shoulders and says 'I dunno'.

What the actual ****.

Younger brother came to visit, left him with my computer and wacom drawing tablet connected, went out for a few hours and came back to a non functional draing tablet

Losing a whole week on a production bug and finding out it has absolutely nothing to do with my code. Some plonker up'ed the version of Sigil and it does not work with our REST calls.

Makes you feel so hollow when you come to a conclusion like that.

I'm with you on that one.
I cannot consume their webservice. I have to sort it out because its our fault.
I object vehemently since we can consume every other service.

Days and hours later, whoops bug on their side.

Now picture yourself in an environment where this is all internal between multiple teams. How do we let these things happen? Solutions with 124 projects?! At least some teams are very pleasant to deal with and will gladly do a Nuget consolidation for us at the drop of a hat. Crisis averted.

Bad bosses are the worst.

I continually have to thank my team lead. Today I wanted a hotfix to go into a production release so bad I got two other team members to approve the pull request so in she went. My team lead was not impressed. He got a lot flack for me breaking protocol. But he is cool with it and in the end the customers will be happier because a crucial fix was pushed out.

I still feel bad about it, however the history around this is an epic.

Yeah had a really good one too. Got promoted into his shoes (he moved country) so trying to pay it forward now.

The hours you are pulling is not something I desire. I know here he came from, that company wanted me too and one of my former co-workers are working there currently. He earns more than I do but I don't want to put up with that crap.

How long do have to keep up with your extended hours?

I have seen and heard too much to ever want to break the bounds of a software developer. I have a great job in a great town. Now and then I go all out cowboy but only to keep the wheels turning. I am happy where I am.

Edit : If you are using Sigil 4.7.0 and getting strange serialization errors then please rollback to 4.6.1. This is a general warning to keep all kinds of people safe.

~2 genuinely craptastic months in the year & other 10 are decent.

What like moving into management & away from the actual doing part? Yeah big shift in the mix of pros & cons - for better or worse.

The guy in the white Toyota skedonk that gave way to the "Omo" bus that plagues Fourways in the mornings, driving at 2km/h up Leslie Avenue...

Seriously, people could get to work faster by walking next to the bus.

Hope he gets indigestion.

At 8:30AM:

"Welcome to Panasonic. Our office hours are 8:15 to 4:30, Monday to Friday." Then they hang up.

Probably busy drafting a press release, whining about how the economy is to blame for their poor financial results.

Typical South African service...

That company went down the tubes. My uncle used to work their from 1986 up till 2003. Things were great at first but in the late nineteens things started going south.

Unfortunately, it's them or Yuasa, and Yuasa doesn't have a local office. Seems like Panasonic is as good as dead. Was so much easier when CBI were the local representatives.

Motorists hugging the centre line in a lane wide enough for 1 1/2 car so that you can't get past on the bike. Or more specific, inconsiderate motorists. Thats 99.999...% of them

No GMO groups on Facebook. If anything is going to be the death of humanity it's going to be these idiots getting their way and all food becomes "organic"
You just cannot fight the idiotic belief that gmo is bad, they will post pictures of farms being sprayed and say we don't want chemicals on our foods. It's like munchkins you do know organic pesticides/ferilizers etc are chemicals and are probably more dangerous right??
