Ah, i do love a old fashioned Xmas, this year i sent my children’s presents to my solicitor to pass to my children’s solicitor, so that they can formally be informed that their father is thinking about them during the season of good will, as previous years presents have all ‘not arrived’, a fact that i was unaware off until recently….i can just imagine Bing Crosby singing about it with his friends round the open fire.

I say Mr Mooney as he is the highest level admin i know, and im hoping he can put in a good word with the gods of notes admins for me before i die.

my crime (or rather sin), is that i have taken to gluing adminP requests together by hand, when the proper process gets on my nerves, the latest one (in this case a change password on a domino directory request, which i wanted to generate immediately but i had already send no to the password change prompt for that day), consisted of me copying out a completed adminP request from the live domain and then over writing fields from a local one i generated on my dev domain, leaving only the security fields in place (i love scanez), then pasting it back into the live domain admin4.nsf

I am prepared to take my punishment(hangs head in shame)

I cant decide if THIS shows that the English can keep a secret, don’t care what’s going on around them, or are completely dateless

But its fun.

One of my major client’s developers has been off ill the last couple of days but who despite vomiting, the shits and a very bad back is managing to do a hell of a lot of work, when enquiries were made as to his ability to do so, his response was:

“That’s because I’m channelling the spirit of Xmas past, who, as it turns out, is quite a good programmer”

I tell you, with this office you just cant make it up!
