In response to a question about how to get better requirements specifications from users on SlashDot (and the poster in question got rightly slammed for the nature of his little whine), a 20 step program was suggested:

Become an analyst and hire programmers

Well, it made me giggle :-)

It's possibly a sign that I've been in fandom far too long when the
phrase "still not King" brings an immediate smile. And I'm still
grinning five minutes later.

Possibly it's also a sign that I've finally lost it.

I haven't seen PotC yet. This makes me sad. But Da has promised to
take me on Friday because he is wonderful, which makes me happy. 'Cos
I really need my silly pirate movie. We may take Mom. Possibly. If she
behaves and promises not to drool to much over Orlando Bloom or mourn
his lack of blond elf-ness too loudly.

Today's work idiocy involves email systems being randomly down
(possibly related to yesterday's sudden email purge - the emails still
haven't returned) so we've had to resort to using our
hotmail/gmail/ntl home accounts when sending out vital reports. Wooo!
At the moment my server is up, but a guy with an important
contribution to today's big report had to send it via his webmail
account. If the attachment he was trying to send had been 20K bigger,
it would have had to be sent to my Gmail account to prevent the
company stripping the attachment. Don't I just work for the most
advanced company ever?

We braved snow, a faulty car requiring a last minute swap to a different car, fog and other nasties to get to this morning's tutorial and it was a productive, useful session. Tutor is lovely and we have fun while learning stuff - someone commented that our corner seems to be the fun corner because we're always laughing *g* The tutor just emailed Mom, Da and I to thank us for coming to the tutorial and noting that we all seem ahead of the class, but don't worry - it gets more challenging later. How lucky we are!

Little does she know that I'm currently at the end stages of doing six weeks work in six hours so that I can do my assignment tomorrow :-) Um, yes, I'm really far ahead...

Also yesterday I had the weekly one-to-one with my boss. No problems. The funny bit was sitting in the canteen, waiting for him to buy some coffees, and looking around at the boxes of plants lining the walls above our heads. During the Christmas party, the catering folks gave us these baloons that you blow up and then release to whistle around everyone's heads making rude noises. The plant boxes are now liberally decorated with the remains of these baloons...

...so it looks like our canteen is decorated with multi-colour condoms *snort*

Had Chinese take out last night. Good Chinese. So why am I still craving mushroom friend rice and prawn crackers?
