Moment of Enlightenment:

After a few too many go arounds up against the developers this build, it's faintly possible I am losing a sense of perspective in that I just had to go and quickly erase a comment in reply to a condescending explanation of why this program is not working no matter how I test it.

The comment? In public? To several paragraphs of explanation of why wrong is right and of course this program is working, people (you) are the problem?

I feel your pain. I just spent about 30 minutes on the phone to our global service desk trying to get them to SEND A FUCKING EMAIL notifying the user base that the system's going down for two hours tonight. Now I have to stay late tonight and manage/test/sign off the release on my own at zero notice because my teammate is in bed with man!flu.

w/e.

At the least, you can't possibly be working with sillier programmers than this =(

I need to get out more than you -- I had to look up "w/e". D:

Totally appropriate response *nods*

(unless it was accompanied by an xkcd comic, in which case you might be on shaky ground ;)

Re: work - I will say that people are being creative about all the wrong things - like their MEDICAL RECORDS. >.<

I use the "what would rodney do" metric on these. If I have written over a page on WHY THINGS ARE WRONG ON THE INTERNET, than it is something Rodney would do. And I shouldn't send ti.

That's actually pretty awesome.
I like that idea.
Of course, if I wrote emails as I imagine Rodney would, I'd probably be leaving a trail of burnt bridges and flaming jello in every footstep.
