I didn't think it was possible, but my back is feeling worse than it did on Monday and it was Really Bad on Monday. The worst part was reaching into my back for the faithful co-codamol to discover that I'd forgotten to replenish my stocks so I only had one dose. Taken that dose and I will have to rely on regular paracetamol for any top-ups until I get home. I'm feeling pretty disgusted with myself.
And I'm starting to think that it may be time to check with the doc as this flare-up has lasted nearly two weeks now, much longer than even an overdoing-it flare usually lasts. Yay.
To make today even more exciting, the data warehouse upgrade that was supposed to happen has been cancelled. Original plan was that everything would be down today, tomorrow and over the weekend and then ready for us to use again on Monday. Due to a hardware failure, it was decided to postpone it at midday yesterday. Unfortunately, they made changes over the preceding 24 hours that have crippled large sections of the data warehouse. And the off-shore DBAs did not roll back those changes.
Grrr.
In addition to the crippled bits, one of the off-shore DBAs today triggered a system rollback that locked everyone out for two hours due to "doing something they shouldn't have".
Why do we still off-shore so much stuff when this seems to be the typical result?
Is it time to go home yet?
I had a long post in my mind about gender identity and Tom Tackles the Chalet School but I may leave it until the weekend. My brain is at the "Fire bad, tree pretty" stage.
