Workaference all fucking day. Doing things the stupid way because that's how management thinks it should be done. I'm gonna drink hard tonight.
We seem to be having a management problem on this banter.
Oh yea Hi Raz.
Howdy, Tex. Sorry to be slow responding, more workafuckinference. More stupidity.
Man workaference on Friday afternoon is extra fuct up. Management Stupidity is rampant these days, certainly rampant at my place but we usually reference it as lack of management.
Tell me if it's this stupid.
Them: We need you to write a script to alter all object references to use the linked server.
Me: No problem. (generate, generate, code, code code) All done. Testing now.
Me: Oops, I don't have access to the linked server.
Them: No.
Me: Uh...then I can't test the script.
Them: No, we'll run it for you.
Me: Uh...
Them: And we'll tell you all the errors.
Me: Uh...
Them: It's for security reasons.
Me: Okay.
Them: Your script doesn't work.
Me: Okay, what's wrong with it.
Them: It says something about "ambiguity"
Me: I'll really need to have the exact error.
(Repeat this about 30 times with me throwing in random fixes)
Me: Y'know, this would go a lot faster if you just gave me access to the linked server.
Them: No, that would be a security risk.
Me: Okay, I'm just saying.
Them: Why has it taken all day for you to write this one script?
