hoo boy

You know that scene in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, when Spock and McCoy are trying to rewire a photon torpedo and the ship is being blown up around them and Kirk is on the horn yelling at them "where's my damn torpedo?!" and Chang is shouting Shakespeare over the speakers "Cry havoc!!!" and McCoy says

not without sarcasm

"This is fun."

That's my morning, right now.  When every product you offer works off a database and that database goes down because your partner has two terminal service sessions open with at least two dozen open SQL windows open in both...

It tends to make all your customers unhappy.

I'm just waiting on the database to get un-fucked.  Happy friggin' Tuesday.

Ah...SQL sessions and connections.

What memories that brings back. Nightmares, really.

These are the times you really wish computer keyboards were like piano keyboards, so you could go over and slam the lid on his fingers.

Ok John, with that visual you got me to laugh out loud. Thanks for that.
