Yay!! Happy monday morning to everyone... I've just started my week editing code written by an intern back in 2006...
Is there someone out there who's starting his/her week worst than me?

My week started with a visit to the dentist. Probably not the worst way to start a week, but still pretty crappy.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

|
|
Not the worst way? What could possibly be worse?

Alimentary my dear Watson.
You could be visiting your proctologist.

... 'moonlights' .... that must be handy for him!

Well, as a proctologist he needs to be handy

Yeah, thanks for offering me that opening. 
And don't accept any chocolates he might offer you.

...or that someone else's proctologist is learning a new trade as your dentist.

I'm fixing some code I wrote myself in 2007...

Well you know everything about fixing old legacy code, don't you. 
At least I know that no one else has touched the code I need to fix.
I'm even happy enough to know that it's MS that broke it, not me.
That said, I'm still having a load of forehead slapping moments here.

As you get older, you get more legacy.

I am sitting at my office waiting for a replacement machine..My machine broke down on friday afternoon (which is probably nice way to end a week and start a weekend..). They are yet to replace my machine..half a day gone by...

Time machine?

it would have been better than my machine!!

Well, I started at a doctor's appointment (not the dentist).. Took more time to drive to the doctor's place than the actual appointment..
The signature is in building process.. Please wait...

If that can be of a cheer up, I guess you would not want to change jobs with @glennPattonWork lately.

I know what you mean, there's someone from our branch in Italy who's been bad mouthing some code I wrote back in '06. All I can say is, if they can do better, they can write their own bad code...
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Well, I'm not saying the intern's code from 2006 is necessarily worst than mine: I'm just saying that, supposedly, in 2014 I have more instruments than what he/she had back in 2006 and, also, it might be the case that stuff he/she used at the time is not working anymore, got lost, et cetera...
Also, my IDE is going to complain a lot about this 2006 project, before letting me actually edit it.
Software simply gets old (and ugly), it's not the coders' faults.
