I've just about had my fill of being eng-on-call. Of course, last night, the last night of being
shackled to the pager, the damn thing went off about five times, keeping me up till around 2am,
and it went off again this morning on the train on the way in. There's nothing like coding under
sleep deprivation. and of course, i'm not the only one who is sleep deprived. Markus
(hotgermanjavaarchitectaction.com!) deleted our entire workspace so all the entire build was
GONE. luckily, we believe in backups.

But you don't really care about my boring job, so I'll just leave it at this: when I'm a sparkly
rockstar, I'm going to buy a cadre of cute software engineers and pay them their salaries and let
them stay at home and eat bon bons and watch TV or if they're bored they can work on whatever
projects they'd like, but they'd be responsible for nobody but themselves. Hrm. Maybe I can get
some sparkly rockstar to do that for me right now. Anyone that can hook me up with a sparkly
engineer-cum-rockstar feeling sorry for a
cute-pink-haired-dragging-a-pager-around-half-asleep-all-day girl gets a brownie! (No Arsenio,
you don't count.)
