I got the new job!

And I love Roy's line in the last panel. It's practially the motto of the internet

Got called today to do a phone interview with the programming department at a very nice company!

Still breathing.  For now.

I dreamed I was an "extra deputy" in Mayberry. And no it didnt last long enough for me to know if I was more competent than Barney Fife.

A day may come when a certain client thinks ahead, when he does not request yet more changes to what he already changed. But it is not this day. A day when he actually uses the test server before telling us to take it live and then freaking out because things aren't like he wanted them! But it is not this day!

From a long mailing-list conversation about instructors prohibiting use of laptops during lecture, and following an item that about banning cell phone use as well:
 

Bolding added by me.

We rewrote the program to allow for three crops (actually, it can take as many crops as the admin sets up). Three weeks, almost full time on the project. However, since we could prove that the whole thing had been defined as 2 from the get go, the client paid for the modifications. The next phase is making the summary pages display more than 2 crops. He will also be paying for that.
 
I felt like I won one with this guy!

Leah took a few tentative steps closer to where Jason and Kris were talking quietly. In her hands was Jason's sketchbook.
 
“I didn't realize that walking in on me when I was getting dressed stayed with you,” Kris said with a slight blush.
 
Jason gave her a bit of a smile. He reached out and caressed her face, not unconscious of the fact that it was where, until a few months back, she had carried a scar that he had caused. “Beautiful things always stay in the memory, Kris. You've always been a very sensual woman. You just never really admitted it to yourself.” Her blush deepened. He cocked his head slightly when she looked away. “Are you okay?”
 
Kris forced herself to smile. “We can't change the past.”
 
“Where our friendship is concerned I only ever regret one thing,” he told her quietly.
 
She stepped into him, wrapping her arms around and hugging him tightly. “And that's only an issue as long as you let it be. Let it go, Jason. No guilt for me. You carry too much and you fixed it.”
 
“Jason?” Leah felt like she was intruding, but still, “can I ask you something?” Kris, blushing again, gave Leah an embarrassed smile when she let go of Jason.
 
“What's on your mind?”
 
She flipped open his sketchbook to the picture of her in the evening dress. “I was wondering about this.”
 
“What about it? I thought it looked good on you,” he said with a warm smile.
 
“Except that I don't, and never have, owned a dress like this. I don't think I've even worn one when I was modeling.”
 
Jason looked confused. “Are you sure? Open back. Slit high on the one leg. I could have sworn I saw you in it. I've never been much for fashion design. Everything I've drawn like this, I've seen it somewhere before.”
 
“Jason, the only place I've seen this dress was in a nightmare.”

I have blown every SAN roll I made at work today.
 
The fact that I am making SAN rolls at work should tell you that things were already downhill.

Heisenberg and Schrodinger are taking a leisurely Sunday drive one afternoon when they get pulled over by the police. The officer asks to see Heisenberg's license and registration, then asks him, "You have any idea how fast you were going?"
 
Heisenberg replies, "No, but I can tell you exactly where we are."
 
The officer is unamused by this answer. He asks them both to get our of the car, and begins searching it. After a few minutes, he calls them over and asks, "You know you've got a dead cat in the trunk of your car?"
 
Schrodinger says, "Well, now we do."

My youngest son gave me one by accident. He was wearing jammies with Wolverine on them. "I am Wolverine, but when I go to bed, I'll be Winnie the Pooh."
 
I just looked at my wife and said, "Oh, bother. [snickt]"

Ender's Game of Thrones
 
That kinda describes the battle school anyway. I did not come up with that. I saw it elsewhere but knew it belonged here.
