I don't think the remote consultant I'm working with understands time zones. He scheduled a phone meeting with a third party, and when I asked if the meeting he could confirm that the meeting time given was for CST (written out fully in the email), he replied, "Yes eastern time". Really wish I knew for sure what time the meeting is set for.

This is extremely petty but in the code I am working on there is this loop that iterates over an array backwards for no apparent reason. It really annoys me for some reason.

I'm sure, the loop just enters mostly identical items into a database, but the loop just starts at the end and decrements for no apparent reason.

I really wish we could stick to our rules about not deploying anything on Fridays or after 2PM. Last week I deployed something (relatively urgent) at around 1:30 PM, mostly because a different group couldn't make one stupid little graphic. This morning, I asked the PM to talk down one of the managers from having me deploy an "urgent" change that wouldn't be needed until April. The cherry on the sundae is that I had to deploy a different type of thing at 4:15 PM today, breaking both of the rules. At least it will actually be needed over the weekend. If I am asked to deploy something next Friday, I think I will scream.

My desktop has randomly restarted for about a month now. Today was the last straw when it a. failed to come up at all, until cords were switched around and b. shut down twice in 10 minutes. The desktop guy is swapping out the power supply right now, so hopefully it will be fixed.

I'm a Java programmer, and the sheer amount of badly formatted code is annoying the hell out of me. Some previous programmer at my company hated using import statements so the full path names are in the main code body. Someone also must have had a line break fetish, as there are statements split over six lines pointlessly. I don't need to fix this from a business point of view, but I must mentally.

The new guy at work, not my department, talks really loudly and has an annoying voice. Really tempted to leave a note at his desk letting him know that he should turn it down. The previous guy never stopped talking, and never seemed to listen, but this guy is too loud.

Pissing me off: The long delayed project that I have been waiting on for almost six months from the other programing team seems like they may have reinvented the wheel for this process. I know RPG isn't the most flexible of languages and I've never seen the code itself but I swear most of the process should already exist. Not pissing me off: For employee appreciation day, they brought in a large amount of fancy confections from the local place.

Every time I launch SQL developer, I will eventually get load library error 87 since starting to work remotely. It can be a few seconds to a few hours, but I can count on one hand how many times I've manually closed the program since I started working remotely. Not pissing me off, the two major projects I've been working on and deployed are mentioned in a bunch of all staff announcements and press releases.

We have a website we maintain with one of our subsidiaries. They handle the marketing, and used to handle the site design; my team does the rest. I added a promotion to one of the pages, but the change was being overwritten by another change using JavaScript. It turns out that the subsidiary had added in the JavaScript via Google Optimize. They didn't tell us, when we could have made the change in plain HTML. I'm manually adding it to the page, and the marketing guy who added the snippet sent me a picture rather than the actual code. It's highly styled making this a pain.

Internet Explorer posted:This is why IT should stay the gently caress out of websites. Have marketing figure out what web designers / developers they want to work with and host the site on something you have no control over. I might monitor SSL/TLS cert for expiry and maybe do some basic up/down monitoring, as a professional courtesy, but that's about it. I am the web designer in this case, making things more annoying that they changed things without going through my team.

Classic ASP is still rear end, but worse is the seemingly black box nature of the project for me. I have an API to call, four test things, three that return the same error, and a rapidly approaching deadline.

Complex project that calls an API, with no good documentation or Dev test cases is going to have to be tested in prod. These tests will be carefully controlled, but still what could go wrong? Also Classic ASP can gently caress itself, but you know this already.

Marketing guy: Can you fix this promotion? Me: You needed to contact us to set things up on our end first. I've set it up on our end. Marketing guy: Can it be used more than once? Me: Yes, I can restrict it to only one use per user though. No restrictions on number of users that can use it. Marketing guy: Great, thanks.  Do you want me to add the restriction or not?

A part of our system currently depends on a 10.4.11 Mac connecting to a 10.6.2 Mac. A sever update prevents the older Mac from talking to the file sever, so it now uses the newer Mac as a go-between. The older Mac runs some AppleScript, that is apparently dependent on screen resolution, which prevents us from moving the script to the other Mac.
