Where's the beef?

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

The Irony

4th day at the new job, commuting to work, as the manager doesn't like people working remotely. The irony is, I remote in to my machine at home for various things, like CP, and cough working on stuff while I'm basically warming a seat here.

At least the first couple days were basically sitting around waiting for apps to install and TFS Dead | X|

to download the code repos. Never thought I would say it, but I miss Git!

Yesterday was a bit more interesting, got in early and in an hour had the start of a test jig working for exercising the entry points that the application calls for custom business logic (everything here is XML packets!) Ironically, one of my coworkers popped in to my cube Sigh | :sigh:

and asked if I had written anything yet that called some of the BL components.

There was much ooh'ing and aah'ing when I showed him the test jig.

Today is waiting for more security / authorization permissions so I don't get a 404 error when trying to run test code and hopefully getting some clear definition of what, besides warming a chair, I'm supposed to actually be doing.

The people are great, it's nice working with laid back and relaxed developers, though the aforementioned manager needs a few counterclockwise turns of the screw in his arse.

I hope that not only the people there are pleasant, but also the work you are going to do...

Besides, to loosen the screw of a gas cylinder, you have to turn it clockwise Laugh | :laugh:

(in contrast to a normal bottle, at least here in Germany)

And the UK, and France. Probably everywhere. Its so you cant accidentally connect a flammable gas up to any other kind of connector.

Fans that spin clockwise (pretty much all of them) also have reversed/anti-clock threads (so they don't fall off when fan spins) - so if the size matches you could connect a gas bottle to say, a desk fan. (Not sure why you would - but probably already on u-tube somewhere.)

After having read this, that manager will need a few more counterclockwise turns of that screw.

Three weeks ago we we found out that my Fil had been taken to the hospital with a bleeding in one lung.
Apparently it was pure luck that he survived after getting several blood transfusions.
Knowing that he has had a history of thrombosis and has been eating blood thinning medicine since twenty years, we took an emergency drive to Germany in case it was the last chance to see him.
After doing a lot of tests, CT-scans and MRI, they decided he's well enough to be sent home.

Yesterday he got the results of one of the tests. It's lung cancer.
Quite ironic since he never smoked and always ate well.
My wife is completely shattered, she remembers how utterly nasty the cancer was to my mom a couple of years ago.

Well, merry f***ing Christmas to us.
At least the kids are to young to really understand what's happening.

My prayers are with you, Mrs Jörgen and the family. I went through this to the bitter end with Mrs Wife's father and 6 years on it is still raw. If you need to shout at the world come here and let off steam in the lounge; it certainly helped me.
