"This is no way to spend a Friday evening."

I'm at work. I can't leave because some data needs to be output for a very important client, ready for printing tomorrow morning, and I need the process I'm running to finish before I can start the output.

Yesterday, our system ran this process in under an hour, for approximately 1.5 million records.

Today, the same process has so far taken an hour and twenty minutes, and it's only 47% of the way through. So I'm here for at least another hour and a half, and there is nothing I can do to pass the time. I can't even play a game on the network because everyone else has left!

I can think of several places I'd rather be, and several more things I'd rather be doing in those other places.

Pity me.

oh wow goatboy! Man-At-Arms!!!

i wish i had a desk at work:(

I did indeed.

And I cocked something up and had to come in last Saturday to put it right.

And guess what? It's Friday evening again, and I'm... yup... at work!

But no c***-ups this time. *Crosses fingers*

So Wookiee, did you make it through the night without scrawling swear words all over the walls in permanent marker??

Yup.

I can't believe they pay me.

I once made a mini drum kit at work. Then I looked up and my manager was leaning over the counter. "Look, it's a snare drum" I said. Then he just walked away, shaking his head.
