Did you ever have one of those days?

by gsg . Updated 18 years, 2 months ago

Working in IT, we’ve all had those “Ah Ha!” moments where you pulled a solution out of nowhere and was a hero at that moment, even if it was in your own mind.

Conversely, have you ever had one of those days that made you wonder why you ever chose to be in IT? A day where you wonder just what God of the perverse you pissed off? Because, you know, nothing is going right, and you can’t seem to fix a simple problem that you are convinced a monkey could fix.

Well, I’ve been working all day on a seemingly simple task. Import a report, and run some rules on it. If condition A exists, then file it. If condition B exists, then file it, and do task B. I’ve done this many times before, and for the love of God and all that’s holy in this world, I cannot make it work this time.

Please, share your pain so that I know I’m not alone.
