Quick to the Code Mobile !
I’ve been turned into a Super Hero. Captain ‘Fix Everyone’s Problem At Once’ or Fepao, which is worrying for Captain Fepao because he sounds like an Italian traffic cop! His abilities are to explain in very calm voice that you have completely destroyed one of client two’s databases and you will have to restore it properly, that clustering at client one has screwed up their system and that there’s nothing I can do and client five is screwed because they gave me the wrong spec.
I swear I was typing emails with one hand, answering the phone with another and trying to explain to one of our new engineers about set up procedure. I like being in demand but this is ridiculous. I’ve been doing some serious thinking about the job here and trying to work out it if I am going to be better off by moving.
I know I’m not appreciated here and TMCM is beginning to take us down a development path I’m not too comfortable with, but I’m five minutes from my house (low travelling costs), they have a flexible approach to working. I.e. as long as you do your 37.5 hrs in a week, they don’t care. And enough free internet access time to search for as many baby related facts as I can possible find. Difficult!
LSW and I saw Shrek 2 last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not sure about the Baby through. It started kicking about two thirds of the way through and did stop until about 1 in the morning. We thought that was it last night but no luck. This means no new work on the game, the FIL’s website or the final chapter of the story. It’s a good job I didn’t stick to those deadlines because I’d have no chance of it working now.
