Killing time while my database compiles....

[LynzM]

Entertain me? :evilgrin:

1. Your favorite database sucks

You should be using _____________ instead.

[LynzM]

3. LOL

Yeah, I should be using anything else... I'm generating XML via Microsoft Visio... BLECH. :P

[no name no slogan]

26. ACH!

Now you DEFINITELY have my sympathy. The only thing worse than MS's solution is everybody else's IMHO.

Of course, I'm speaking as somebody whose main tool was acquired by Oracle a couple years ago, and has watched it slowly circle the bowl ever since then.

4. p.s.

Your sig line is cracking me up!

[GOPisEvil]

2. Yay!

I'm happy for you that your project is nearing completion!

Entertain? I'm quite the boor! :P

[LynzM]

5. Oh dude...

I so wish it were... but at least we have client review tomorrow and then I can get started on part 2... :bounce:

(Do I need to put the <sarcasm> tags around the 'bounce'? LOL)

[GOPisEvil]

9. Oh well, then...

...on to PHASE TWO!!!

You will kick its ass - I have faith! :)

[LynzM]

11. Yep!

I always do, that's why they give me the difficult projects! :banghead:

:) :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

13. Isn't that always the way?

If you were incompetent, you'd leave work on time, never work from home and still draw a paycheck.

Being good at something just means you get more work to do.

:hi:

[LynzM]

16. Indeed, it seems it is...

Ah well, I have a job, and it's not so bad... maybe some year I'll have one I like better, but for now, this one will do.

[GOPisEvil]

17. I totally fell into my job.

Turns out I like it, and I'm pretty good at it.

Then they promoted me to supervise others. :scared:

But yeah, having any job in this economy is a good thing. 5000 laid off today at Microsoft.

[LynzM]

24. Ick, supervising.

No thanks, to that bit...

Yikes to the layoffs... geez.

[GOPisEvil]

28. Well, it's a step to bigger and better things.

I can handle it for 12-18 months or so. Plus, my people pretty much run themselves.

[lizziegrace]

7. I find that hard to believe

How far are you from Vancouver, BC? (There's a reason for asking)

[GOPisEvil]

10. 2.5 hours or so.

150 miles - give or take. :)

[flvegan]

6. What did time ever do to you?

Huh?

This is the DU member formerly known as J'accuse, LynzM. J'accuse.

[LynzM]

12. There's not enough of it to go around...

And it drives me crazy!!

:rofl: at your sig line... "Hey, what'd I do?!"

[flvegan]

19. J'accuse you of killing time.

In the Conservatory with the Candlestick.

[LynzM]

25. LOL

Man, I haven't played that in a *long* time...

[denbot]

8. Racially insensitive joke warning

New Mexico Cowboy Whisperer


Cowboy: 'That your dog?'

Indian: 'Yep.'

Cowboy: 'Mind if I speak to him?'

Indian: 'Dog no talk.'

Cowboy: 'Hey dog, how's it going?'

Dog: 'Doin' all right.'

Indian: (Look of shock!)

Cowboy: 'Is this Indian your owner?' (Pointing at the Indian...)

Dog: 'Yep.'

Cowboy: 'How's he treating you?'

Dog: 'Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food and
takes me to the lake once a week to play.'

Indian: (Look of total disbelief)

Cowboy: 'Mind if I talk to your horse?'

Indian: 'Horse no talk.'

Cowboy: 'Hey horse, how's it going?'

Horse: 'Cool.'

Indian: (Extreme look of shock!)

Cowboy: 'Is this your owner?' (Pointing to the Indian...)

Horse: 'Yep.'

Cowboy: 'How's he treating you?'

Horse: 'Pretty good, thanks for asking, he rides me, brushes me down often
and keeps me in a lean-to to protect me from the weather.'

Indian: (Look of total amazement)

Cowboy: 'Mind if I talk to your sheep?'

Indian: "Sheep Lie"

[LynzM]

14. LOL

Oh man... :rofl:

Nice pic! I take it you are the DUer formerly know as puerco bellies? (did I spell that right?)

[denbot]

29. Ding ding ding

Yup, that's me.

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Again?

[LynzM]

20. LOL

You are a naughty, naughty man... :P :evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. On the contrary

I'm a very good man. :)

[Zornhau]

18. Come to bed!

I'm tired and it's cold in here...

[LynzM]

21. Soon, love....

Tell the intertubes to hurry up with uploading the XML, would ya?

:loveya:

[Zornhau]

22. well if all the bandwidth weren't going to DU posts

it would probably go faster... :P

[kentauros]

27. Hmmmph!

you should try compiling GIS databases next time

[LynzM]

31. Blech!

I can't imagine the amount of data that's hanging out there... :wow:

[mwooldri]

30. Database compiles?

Try a new Linux kernel and recompile THAT on a i486 with 32MB of RAM.

Had to do that to get the soundcard to work many moons ago.

Have fun...

[LynzM]

32. Eeesh...

That sounds like a "grab a book and a cuppa coffee" kind of thing...
