I've spent most of the day rebuilding a database whose only electronic copy was on the disc that got eaten by a computer in another building. After 3 days of this, I'm starting to dream in spreadsheets. I'm taking a break.
It's not hell, just a damn nuissance. It's the sort of thing I thought I left behind when I left the office job.
On the other hand, it IS inside, out of the wind, and necessary enough to justify my being on the computer all day, with the occasional surfing breaks. So I can't complain too much.
I sometimes wonder if people just have a better sense of humor than I or if this is just not something that I would have thought of as--though I wear underware--I am not a knitter.

That is just wrong, horribly, horribly, wrong.
