I forgot my Cpday yesterday. But I've put up with seven years of you elephants wasting my time. No stop it, I really must do some work.

Congratulations!
This "work" of which you speak: does it involve a Bottle of some form? Plus Ice and a Slice?

You know how gin-and-tonic was invented, don't you?
Tonic water (quinine) was the standard treatment for malaria in the colonial days. Quinine of course is bitter and so gin was added to make the medicine palatable.
With gin-and-tonic, one is able to screw oneself and malaria at the same time.

Today, and yesterday, I am actually doing some real honest-to-God paid work. Rare, but it does happen.
And I'm drinking coffee*

If he really was consuming that much gin and tonic, I would have no other choice than to call him a trouble sh**tter.

I never have more than one gin...

I must have joined around the same time. My current account is 6 years 6 months old - but I had previously joined using some other name then lost the password & ended up re-joining.
i don't actually recall a time during that whole time when you were actually working rather than drinking!
Well done!

So no stopping it but you want to do some work? 
What a difference one letter makes, especially since you use it in games to move forward.

Hi All,
Regulars will know of my battle with a bit of software for a client that really doesn't know what is wanted or how to do it or what it should do. It is written in VB (not to offend anyone, I really don't see why but it has to be). There was a discussion over some serial numbers that were too big (again I spotted this flaw) and over flowing leading to corruption much. Agreement was reached all was good. Wait for a worrying amount of time and find the problem is they are not following the agreed spec for the serial numbers, which is causing a problem.
The software guy they have, his software works. Major problems. I get winged at by the boss the mod to there serial numbers seems to have been ignored. The issue is was bounced back to me to fix with as much speed as possible (despite me being hip deep in other testing!). The problem is they don't follow specs that were agreed on and then wonder why it doesn't work....

Specs/agreements are no good if they can't be enforced, and especially if the agreement is "exterior only." Besides looking at legal recourse (I'm not kidding) it my worth while for the muckimucks to get together and investigate why they have a culture that supports ignoring agreements and make appropriate changes to remedy the situation.
