That moment you find $40.00 in your jeans back pocket and you have no idea where it came from!

Know the feeling only I was excited for $5.

Conversely, that feeling when you go out to get lunch and you're all "I'MMA GET A HOT CHOCOLATE", then you get there and they're out of hot chocolate. It's the perfect weather for it too - chilly weather calls for hot chocolate.

FTFY.

As someone who came up through coding and still codes (I'm writing an OAuth2 IP right now), of the CLI languages, VB.NET is by far my most disliked (we shall not speak of Original VB ). However, at least the CLI languages are sane. For pure insanity, I recommend:

• PHP, where NULL++ = 1, but NULL-- = NULL; or "this" == true, "this" == 0, but true != 0. Also, mysql_escape_string, mysql_real_escape_string, mysql/mysqli/PDO_mysql. Those are but the least of its sins.
  
• Perl, the original "write once, read never" language
  
• Python, where whitespace is significant and evidently there's nothing wrong with that
  
• Ruby, where you get all the slowness of an interpreted language with all the insecurity of operation by convention (Rails model binder, overposting, and Active Record = 0wned)
  

All good languages start with the letter C: C, C++, C#. One could be excused for dropping C++ from that list, because template metaprogramming is The Devil, and I'd rather a language where I can blow my foot off where I can actually see the gun and where the trigger is, as opposed to C++ where I can push a green button that says "Push Me!" and, after 20-30 Rube Goldberg operations, a gun teleports in front of my foot and shoots it for me.

I like you!

The thing about C++ and templates is that it's a fantastic idea if you never want to debug your code ever. Every job I've used C++ in the past, we've deliberately excluded templates (including the STL) from our work, and this includes everything from small applications to operating systems.

It's much like JavaScript, where there's a lovely language in there once you cut away the crap. C++ is fantastic, so long as you don't get so caught up in using all the "features" that you lose out on the essential elegance of C.

Oh, and work-related: I'm a programmer for the most profitable porn company in the history of mankind.

Yessss.

I've been housesitting the last few days. Two giant mastiffs, and a wood stove. I have never used a wood stove before. Temps are hitting -40 every night. Every day when I get back the fire has burned itself out. Getting it going again, doing homework after work, and dealing with dogs that CANNOT SEEM TO HOLD IT FOR SEVEN HOURS WHILE I AM TRYING TO SLEEP has meant that I have turned into a zombie at work.

My productivity is at an all time low. Someone entertain me! Keep me awake!

THIEF!

*replaces Auria's name with THIEF in all text boxes. And God help her if she goes into the Shopkeeper's place*

I once played through LA with my name as THIEF specifically so I could skirt the guilt.

Trufax.

Just had to re-create a jersey number because someone f***ed up the only file I had to work with, and because the guy who cut me the mat board f***ed up the shape of the numbers...



Typical problems of my day.

Just a small rant and nothing against those in call centers but seriously...our office has too many inbound simple calls that our call center can handle. These are just appointment questions, scheduling and canceling, medication refills...etc. people get angry when they have to wait 20 minutes on hold because they call in when we are checking in a new patient. 

-_-

Blargh. I'm a teacher, and the students had a half day, and I'm stuck here for another hour and a half until I can leave because I'm supposed to be having a content team meeting...and I am my own content team. Good times.

I'm a pre-kindergarten teacher/director and in my class yesterday I had a 3 year old girl tell me that her mom put a rag in her butt. Sure enough, there was a wet rag in her underwear. <sigh> Thankfully we figured out what happened and it wasn't malicious. There's always something with these kiddos <feels frazzled>

Florida people unite! With our powers combined we are <dramatic pause> orange flavored! 8D
