Probably.
My computer hates me. I have decided this based on the following evidence:
1. It ate my blog this morning (which was long, funny, and basically un-recreatable...cause I've tried and failed 3 times already.)
2. It ate my charts. Not just any charts...all the charts that go into our 200+ page document that's due to the customer today. And of course they're not just "put in the data and click the chart button" in Excel charts. No, they're put in the data, click the chart and then manipulate the darn thing to get it to do things that the stupid program doesn't want to do all because someone who shall remain nameless (and you know who you are) decided that we needed whisker charts.
3. I had to recreate said charts.
4. It corrupted the database of our enterprise application (i.e. not just affecting me, but screwing everyone else...though to be fair it looks like the damage was minimal and has been recovered.)
I want to go home.
Then of course, the program "my" intern has been making, which I think rocks (and have told her so) was shown by me (with great excitement) to the Tech Lead...who sat in silence, clearly scrounging for something positive to say. So I feel like I missed the whole point of the exercise and should just retire. The expression of which sentiment caused coworker to yell at me as she stormed off down the hall about how I was behaving like a classic 'C' and taking it personally. Ok, I admit it, I'm a C personality. I don't see this as a bad thing. I'm also a fairly high 'S' personality - again not a bad thing. She's a FREAKING FLAMING 'D' personality to the exclusion of just about every letter that exists...this is perhaps a slightly bad thing. I don't throw it in her face.
Most of the time.
So, while browsing and eavesdropping on a conference call in the conference room (and shrinking/shrivelling inside because it sounds like we're getting more work on this contract that I was really hoping would get cancelled for a multitude of reasons), I stumbled across this link: http://www.webworksllc.com/I_Like_You.html
Now I must explore just how needy I am that that link made me feel good. Made me smile. Made me need to hit the red button another time or two just to smile again. I think, perhaps, I need more positive affirmation in my life. Or perhaps I just need a life. Next thing you know I'll be crying at commercials.

ReplyDeletei actually think this would be a good thing to push every morning.
