Chaotic Work

I've been somewhat busy at work today and yesterday. John wanted to start entering staff's publications into the database via a frontend I built ages ago. It turns out, however, that my frontend was broken and I hadn't realised. I'd tested it to destruction when I originaly finished it, but since then it's been moved to a new location, been added to another website, moved to another new location, had it's DSN connection's name changed, and generally been prodded and poked at.

During the various moves etc I gave it a quick check each time and it seemed to be working fine, but it had managed to pick up some very odd bugs along the way, mostly relating to the database code and the session handling. Yesterday it wouldn't let anyone add more than one publication per login. If we wanted to add 2 publications we had to log in to add the first then log out. Log into add the second then log out ... Woe betide anyone who tried to edit an existing publication.

So I was running around like something demented fixing everything as it went wrong. Now it seems to be quite stable, so I'm having the fun task of inputting publications. Yes, that's right - Data Entry. Mind you, it's not so bad when you know that your boss is also doing the same data entry.

Hit By A Bus

"Today I are been mostly feeling like I wuz hit by a bus."

Last night I had a nightmare where my laptop was stolen. It might sound stupid, but it was actually really scary. Had another nightmare not long after which I won't go into. Plus I had a number of weird dreams that meant I didn't get much quality sleep last night. This morning I felt sick, had a headache and wasn't at all with it. I'm finally starting to feel a little more human now. Not sure what caused it though. When I first got up I thought I was ill, but it seems to be going now so I can't be ill ...
