A week of productive head-banging

Posted on April 6, 2006 By admin

The work I've been doing for the last week, trying to massage somebody else's data to make a square peg fit into a round hole, turned out to be a complete and utter waste of time. The data is shit, corrupted and inconsistent and I have just informed the person who gave it to me that it is so. I could say that I hope he doesn't hate me for it, but honestly, that would be a lie.

Quote of the day

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world *belongs*, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse *me*? This is my glass? I don't *think* so. My glass was full! *And* it was a bigger glass!
--(Terry Pratchett, The Truth)
