BWEEP.

Database woe has returned. At least now I have reasonable proof that it's something random with Access, and not me going suddenly insane. ARGH, though.

OK DATABASE WORKED!! THE QUERY RAN!!! I AM HAPPY!!!!

Now I will not get reamed out by Management, even though my product is shameful.

(where by "shameful", I mean of course "not of totally professional quality", because I should be a Trained Professional, yet this is the work of a student.) (I think some of the Japanese guilt is rubbing off on me.)

Oh, and if no one else already suggested it, the cliche is of course "Werewolves of London". Bonus points for Oingo Boingo subject line, dear.

I woke up before the alarm clock, and had a lovely 45 minutes lazing about in bed before it finally did shriek at me. hcolleen can testify that I abuse the snooze button on a regular basis.

Turbo has explained the reason why Windows Defender is giving me errors on start-up: MS in their infinite wisdom came out with a new version and expired the old one, making things just plain not work. He went into the typical end-user reaction: "WOE IS ME I HAS A VIRUS!!1!" (I'd sent him an e-mail regarding the little message, telling him that my computer was
giving me "a party favor", with a screenshot of the error box and the basic troubleshooting steps I'd gone through before poking him. He prefers private e-mail to an automatic trouble ticket.)

Ooo, looks like one of the new versions of a survey might be slightly on crack! I shall have to ask questions about this.

(I have now had coffee. Fear. I'm waiting on the Princess to get some paperwork processed, and exploring things that I'm curious about, because that's the way to solve problems and get in rouble.)

i often don't know what's going on in your posts, only the gist. i guess that's the point, this seems more of a reference for you with a little amusement for us. lol

Yep! I read the wrong books (or the right books) when I was a teenager, and I decided that I needed a story of my life, day-to-day, with all the experiences that shaped me and who I am, so that if necessary someone could go through my journals and patch together my life from the journals alone.

that's cool. kind of like archeology. i usually just post when something interests me, or is really important to me.

(And tonight seems to be the night when I have the breathing space to go through my inbox and respond to all pending comments that don't need over five minutes of thought to write on. I triage my comments according to a bizarre little mental algorithm.)

haha, yeah. i probably should have warned you, but you must have figured it out. i comment a lot. ;) there have been times when i've commented more in a journal than the journal's owner, but i doubt that will happen here.

Hee. Given that I annotate my journal entries with comments when re-reading through, probably not.
