After a short conversation it was easy to see why, all the scripts that were required for the code deployment were in his home directory. Please note the use of the past tense here, it would seem that it was important.
In order to ease the pain and discomfort to the aforesaid user and to persuade him to take a little more care in the future, I agreed a modest fee – 1 Latte which I promptly threw over my desk. There is a lesson here, but I’m not sure that I can work out what it should be.
Still onward and upward was my thought after cleaning my desk, on with my own work for the day. Around the middle of the day I received an email from one of my colleagues asking about some software that I had apparently installed for her, after a couple of hours of pratting around I found out that I had indeed installed this software and eventually I worked out what to do with it. I carried on with my own tasks till the late afternoon, deciding I’d had enough of the whole thing I went home – purchasing two lottery tickets on the way. I’m hopeful that my next Blog post will be from Brazil or the Bahamas, but I’ll probably be back in the office tomorrow to see what else can go pear shaped!
