I keep thinking today can’t get any worse. Then it does.

First I get a call from a customer, saying they’re having some problems with something I did. No big deal really…fixed that, sent them off a new version. Then they get back to me with some minor cosmetic things (they seem very, very fixated on everything looking exactly like they think it should). I start into that, then end up going to lunch.

I get home, realize I don’t have any meat for a sandwich. Go for the backup peanut butter crackers and realize I don’t have crackers. I then go for plan C, the toasted cheese sandwich. I burn that somehow.

Get back to work, get a note on my desk saying another customer is having some problems with something else I worked on. They’re trying to send out a bunch of mass e-mails and I wrote this thing which connects directly to a SMTP server and sends them out. Works fine here. I finished this at least a month ago. They have to send their e-mails out today. When did we test to see if it worked on their site? Yesterday of course. Does it work? Are you kidding me? Of course not!!

So now I’m trying to scramble to figure out why it’s not working, because I can’t actually connect through our VPN and test it out due to their firewall (Can’t connect out through their internet connection while on the VPN).

So…can today get any worse?
