    <Sigh>

    Oh dear(tm), that's me done for then.

    Professor suspended from top university for giving off 'negative vibes' - Telegraph



    For dear old Freako, this is a story about a Professor of English at Warwick University who's been suspended for 9 months because he sighs, projects negative body language & is sarcastic.


    <sigh>

    If he could see the train wreck this tuliphole is turning into, he'd <sigh> for Britain.

    Just saying like.

    I have more than a few Energy Vampires on my project, I'd love to suspend them and wring their bleedin necks, it would make for a happier more productive team.

    So I support it!

          I prefer to call it being realistic.

          Que meeting this morning where the business user supplying Data, who sent data so bad it wasn't worth importing, were complaining that we should have guessed which duplicates and over length records to import.

          Its not like its a surprise I refused almost identical data for the same countries last month.

          They wonder why I'm in-between them and the DBAs who refuse to deal with their rubbish.

          So there answer was instead of us checking excel for duplicates and fields that are too long, They demanded I write a web based data validation tool for them! I replied well next month we are releasing a data upload tool which will allow them to upload automatically and I can escape these idiots.

          Luckily the Bosses Boss was there and backed me

          If I can't sigh & roll my eyes after that when can I?

              I find that the closer my end date comes, the happier and more positive I become.

              I'll be skipping out of the door on my last day...

                My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.
