My team's been moved to a new floor. We're now sat by sales and marketing andI'm losing my fucking mind.
There's one lady who starts every call with the most sing-song version of 'Hi, {}'.format(Name) where she draws out 'Hi' so it's about 3 syllables long. If I have to hear it one more time I'm going to rip the phone out of her hand and throw it out the window.
I have headphones, but it's as if she waits for the second I take them off to say her catchphrase.7 -
I committed my credentials and pushed to GitHub once. Took me a week to notice. Luckily it was just a personal project and no one noticed.

Today in a meeting, a non-dev analyst who frequently uses SQL mentioned in passing that he uses Excel as a text editor for his SQL code. I don't know what he said after that because I wasn't able to get past the fact that Excel is his go to text editor.6

Went to see Jason Bourne last night. No spoilers, but I'm guessing this is how the writers came up with the story:
Writer 1: Let's make it super techie
W2: Yeah, that way it's about current issues, like Internet privacy.
W1: Should we hire a tech consultant so we get things right?
W2: Nah, I saw the Matrix once, I understand computers.
Actual line from film:
"Use SQL to corrupt their database"

Google told me I was speaking their language and asked if I wanted to play a game in a very Matrix-esque way. I'm now in the middle of coding challenges and when I finish one of them a ascii white rabbit hops across the in browser console. You have my attention Google, well played.4

Finally fixed all the known bugs (read:self sabotaging) in my code and it's running without any errors. Just when I'd given up hope.

All it takes is one jackass somewhere in the world with no understanding of character encoding to ruin things for everyone else.

I find myself saying something along the lines of "This should work." or "That will fixed it" multiple times a day. I can't remember the last time I said that and was right.
