...dealing with retards today. Normally, I can (just) barely stand them, but today, the idiots are really disturbing my calm.

But don't ask me to take off my shoes. I only do that when I am on holy ground and burning bushes command me to do so.

Just in case I need to say it: I am not going to kill anybody.

God, grant me the serenity to avoid the things I cannot change,
Courage to take lethal action when required by the things I can,
And the wisdom to recognize when there are no witnesses.

Rather than serenity and contemplation, I recommend a ClueBat. Hickory, or Lignum Vitae ones are good, nails are a optional extra for the impatient.

They do seem to come in packs don't they. When I notice it, I also notice that the more intelligent people seem to hide at these times. I figure I should do the same if possible. Heaven help the person in their way. They flock or school together. New York and San Fran seem to suffer from an over abundance.

Montreal has to deal with similar clowns last week. Only, they climbed the Jacques Cartier bridge. Wouldn't have been a loss if it had ended in the same way.

Montreal?!?!?

Thanks, I thought I was the only one!
Yesterday was really the most my patience has been tested in a while...
At half past quitting time, my business partner was busting my balls over font sizes/layout/nav in a web report that has been available for review/criticism for months!  I was tired, hungry, and had missed a deadline for an important phone call.
Normally, that kind of stuff doesn't get to me, but she had already wasted half of my day helping get sql 2017 on her laptop and getting her started on a new web reporting project. Then of course I had to pay attention and participate in the tutorials...which brought on a new stress...
The new reporting tools require .NET 4.6 which means I can't use my beloved VS 2010...so I'm using VS 2019 which is really slow by comparison, but still better than 2017. Anyhow, following the tutorials was fine, but certain actions from the report component's smart tag were locking up VS for up to 5 minutes. I'm sure there's a lot happening under the hood, but it seems excessive. Even debugging is way slower than 2010. I guess that's the price you pay for progress!
Thanks for the opportunity to rant, I feel better now! 
...and just as a parting shot, yesterday morning I got an email from another software company dev regarding a common client and a couple of exports they wanted to test. The client was really in a pinch and needed to get this working yesterday. I called client, get a remote started and setup my parts, created exports from other vendor, test one - success, test second - roadblock. Client says will call me after lunch for retest. I worked through lunch to address the problem, redeploy the import and expect a call which never came.  Not even now, halfway into the next day...I guess it wasn't that important after all. Meanwhile, I've got the other company's reps that want a status report, which I'm about to send that says I'm waiting.

Believe me when I say my chi is harnessed. If it wasn't, it would be taking advantage of being armed to the teeth.

That's why John Moses invented the 1911, I'm sure. Sadly, we're not allowed to use it for its intended purpose.
Will Rogers never met me.

I only know how it ended last time[^]. They condemned six good little processors to a flaming death.
