Not again ...

Another late night. Ugh.

But, I’ve finally finished putting a unique id number on all the columns … now I just need to split the fields to prep them for import into the various tables. *cry*

That ain’t happening tonight though. Yeesh. G’night.

Falling asleep at the wheel

And by “wheel”, I mean “keyboard”.

I’m working on an application for our Security team at work. This is the THIRD revision of the tool … they keep changing what they want it to do AFTER I finish working on it. This revision came with quite a few database changes. In order to make the tool worthwhile, we need to import the data from the past version into this version.

So, I exported the data from the last version into a spreadsheet for a couple guys on the team to look through and decide what needed to be kept and what to modify, etc. They sent it back to me all ready for import … except that they had deleted the primary key field in SOME of the fields. Why? I have no clue.

I key all other tables in the database on that field. So, rather than wait another three days for them to go through another exported spreadsheet, I’m going through and adding a new key (doesn’t matter what the key is, as long as it’s unique). Except, I have to make sure ALL duplicate entries have the same key. Tediousness at it’s finest.

Here I sit, after four hours of doing this tonight … falling asleep at the keyboard. Time to call it quits for the night and pick it up tomorrow. Guess the tool won’t be rolled out tomorrow.

Famous Last Words

There was a report this morning on the news about the recent rash of Airlines grounding planes and not getting inspections done, etc. If you haven’t heard any of this … well … you must live in a lovely cave.

Apparently, congress is having hearings and had an FAA official in front of them … they asked some question regarding how lame the FAA is and how little they do. The FAA official said something along the lines of “Let’s put this in perspective, we haven’t had a major airplane crash in over six years.”

She seriously said something along those lines! My superstitious bone kicked in and I immediately thought, “Great, now there’s going to be a crash.”

But this prompted me to think about all the other “famous last words” you’ll hear from time to time. I’d like to list the ones I thought about, and you should feel free to add anything I’ve missed:

• “Hey guys, watch this!”
• “I’ve never seen him play so well, he’s going to win for sure!”
• “What ELSE could go wrong?”
• “At least it’s not raining.”
• “It hasn’t crashed yet!”

Ten times a day?!

I just received an email from Lupe Jamison stating that it’s now possible to have sex ten times per day.

First of all, I didn’t even get a “Hello, how’s things with you” from Lupe. She just starts right in on me buying boner pills. How rude.

Anyway, can you imagine ten times a day? That’s a lot of working out. I would be sculpted like a Greek God if I could manage that. Honestly though, who has that much time in their day to spare? Let’s see, ten times per day times five minutes is what?
