You know that the day isnt going well when...

..you've just spent an hour and a half trying to work out why libcURL is segfaulting when it worked perfectly the day before - only to find out that you have infact linked the wrong package to the compiler :(

Anyone else having "one of those days"?

(I feel like moaning about things to someone. You lucky, lucky people got chosen as that target ;))

[nikimere]

O/T: lol, nikimere, just noticed your avatar. Is that some sort of jab at me or something? ;) Same corner, different car.

lol! just noticed that too :) not a jab at you. It's one of the best corners in LFS - 1st corner FE Green. Looks like i have a better line too :p he he he!

[Forbin]

Ah, not the same corner then. That's one of the final corners on FE Black, the 90 degree right hander just after you go under the bridge.

Lap 2 at around 1:50.

I just got through this year's safety training we have to do constantly at work on PPE (personal protective equipement), ie, ear plugs, glasses, hardhats, steeltoe shoes, cut-resistant gloves, etc. Now, I am extremely dilligent in wearing my safety equipement any time I do something not just at work, earplugs and my steeltoes on the mower, safety glasses and plugs when weedwackin, glasses any time I'm under the car or truck, and of course glasses and plugs anytime I use the woodworking tools at home. Sure enough, the only thing I lag in is using a cut-resistant glove when trimming our parts at work. The production guys trim all day long and where them all day long. I usually work on the expansion of the raw material, but here I am 2 days after my safety training and my thumb is now THROBBING because I didn't put on a safety glove to cut one part. Blood everywhere, my boss nearly passed out (he eats raw fish, but can't handle a little cut, LOL), and if I go to get it stitched up, I of course have to go through the hassle of drug testing (not that it matters now at my age, perhaps back in the college days :thumb: ). No stitches, I've had worse, I'll be alright, but it just sucks as it hurts like hell now.

you had to be tested for drugs because you had an accident?

speedfreak227
Yes we do. Anytime someone has an accident where they need medical attention, we are sent for drug testing (the one with the accident, of course). It is better than what they were going to do at the beginning (company is 10 yrs old now, manufacturing facility). They wanted to random drug test on a monthly basis and when announced the idea at an operations meeting, about half the employees raised their hands with questions. I could see the wheels turning in their heads, "Hmm, if we do this, we'll loose half our workforce." LOL, here in western Pennsylvania, I think we are the Pot capital of the world.

You definitely should have a vacation over here :D

By the way... Eat poppy seeds, and then get an accident... And spend the rest of the year trying to explain you do not use Heroin, but that it's actually the poppy seeds.

About 3 weeks ago I had one of those days.... I ordered a vintage mechanical keyswitch keyboard for £20 off ebay. I waited 2 weeks for it, then ****ed up the space bar within 2 hours of getting it because i messed up the spring when I put it back on after cleaning it. No biggy, it still worked, it just felt a little weird... to numb the 'doh' factor I cracked open a beer, and promptly spilt it all over the damn keyboard. The 'lock' LEDS flashed briefly, then all three just went dim. It hasn't worked since :doh:

Got another one now though. I ordered one, but it was faulty, so he sent me the faulty one and a working replacement. I fixed the faulty one, so now I have two working ones, and a beer soaked one.

They all feel sexeh though :p
