It's not sure if he will arrive but if he does he'll be intact.

Last week a client had a meeting regarding an app I built for them for this one time project. This meeting occurred Monday.

Thursday I get a call at 8 am where they ask if they can get some fixups regarding the UI by Friday.

Why does this always happen? You deliver a product and don't hear from the clients for days or weeks and suddenly they pop up and ask for a fix by the next day?

Ugh...

Currently introducing two coworkers to 180 kloc written by my predecessor over 5+ years time with tons of magic constants. I've been on the project for 5 months and don't know anything. They asked for the documentation and I gave them the look.

Medical device able to track heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate and more non-invasively.

Still working on it. Starting clinical trials soon. Best side job in the world!

Day 1:
Optimizing huge problems for the company. Get mail. *sigh*; Why is your script using up half the CPU on our thin clients? *place in complaints folder and go on*

Day 2:
Boss asks about it during scrum meeting. *Oh shits*
Need a cluster. Been asking for it for months...

Day 3:
Start runs on all thin clients. *Thou shall feel my wrath*
Complaints folder floods.

Day 4:
Expect rage from boss.
"IT seems to have found a cluster for you at last."

Finally!
