"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.

You know, I miss the old days. Back at the start of summer. There only ever seemed to be me, you, Goaty and Meka posting during the days.

No work to do, just sit on the forums all day and have a laugh.

Now though? Pfah! It's all newbies, and "VOTE FOR ME!" topics.

Well, not for me... my job is fairly seasonal - nothing much in the run up to Xmas, then come January all hell breaks loose. Then at the end of January it quietens down a bit, then end of Feb until May it goes nuts again, then end of June it's quiet. Then it's a hectic September, and then quiet again until the end of the year.

Always too much to do, or not enough! Oh well - at least I have a job, I suppose.


> How about yourself?

Oh, y'know... plodding along... mustn't grumble I suppose! Been better, could be worse...

They obviously don't hurt that bad, as you can still type.

I'm fine cheers mate, things are going ok.

Too much work, not enough play, but then it's always like that, right?

How about yourself?
