Beat It!

Almost another week has passed without any posts! Hehehe, it's been very busy the last few days. :)

Somehow, the song was very appropriate for my mood about work. Hehehe.. A very angry angry angry song! Hahaha! :)



Fall Out Boy feat John Mayer - Beat It

They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it

You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it

Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it

They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it

You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you,
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it

Beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or who's right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it

The April Fool!

How fitting is it, that today is April Fool's Day and I feel that I've just been made a fool of?

It's him! The pasa-loader once again! It's not enough that he's not here to take responsibility for a task he screwed up, now I have to pick up the pieces and I have to fix everything while being under a microscope...

The pasa-loader's task (another SSL certificate installation) was submitted about three weeks ago, and the servers needing that certificate need it by tomorrow for testing. So NATURALLY, the server admin only complained today, the day before the testing day. This server admin, complaining that task was submitted weeks before, escalated the issue to his boss. Now his boss is "making noise" (as what they call it) to our boss (i.e., boss of pasa-loader and me).


Now, since pasa-loader is on sick leave for two weeks now (some form of measles or something), guess who takes the heat? Come on, three guesses only, don't be shy. Take a guess... Yep, yours truly. Soooooo...................................

Here I come to save the day!
(mighty mouse and friends, are on their way... hehehe)

So that's what I've been doing since this morning until just about half an hour ago... I didn't even have time to eat breakfast. Oh well... I resolved it eventually but it was extremely stressful... It's cold in the office (aircon was set to 22 degrees C), but I didn't feel it at all. Actually, I felt sweat beading on my forehead and on my back. I had a monster headache while trying to figure out this damn thing.


Now that I've had some time to sit down and ponder on the events this morning, here are a few things that have been bugging me:

(1) Why is it that every time pasa-loader takes a vacation or sick leave, we get in trouble? It's like he always has a surprise for us whenever he's not around; unfinished and long overdue tasks, irate clients, admins and/or bosses, things like that...


(2) Since the afformentioned task is three-weeks old, why did no one (the pasa-loader or the server admin) test it then? Why wait until the DAY BEFORE the deadline to do the test? It's THEIR responsibility to test it. Now this friggin' service admin has the gall to complain?

Damn bastard!

Whoops sorry... Slipped out... I'm not angry... *chanting while jumping* I'm in a happy place... I'm in a happy place... I'm in a happy place... I'm in a happy place.......


(3) Is it coincidence that today is April Fools Day? I mean really... Why do I feel duped? It's as if this was a big setup? Like they planned this big friggin' problem and dump this on me on this very specific day?

Well whatever... It's fixed. It's done.
