    You gotta larf

    Since I got here I've had to wince at ClientCos in house management style. The casual manner in which code is bunny hopped across streams, the yee-haw approach to spinning up environments etc.

    I have had nothing but the uttermost bugger-bollockery-awful time with their environments. Every time I raise it as an issue, the same response, "Well it works for us, it must be something you're doing"

    So now we are nearing code complete date it's all hands to the tiller. Guess what?

    Configuration management cluster****. Version control mess. And to cap it all the environments are playing up.

    But not for me.

    So you know what I said? "It works ok for me, it must me something you're doing".

    Gangnam style.

    You're probably using an old environment

          Well it works for them so it must be something you're doing.

                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    Not sure if you are being serious. I have offered on numerous occasions my advice. It falls on deaf unreluctant ears. So, their problem.

                    For the first time in my contracting life, I've been able to take it in my stride, and keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep invoicing.
