The good, the bad, and the UGHly.

Good: We went to the Emperor's class picnic and had a lovely time. He ran around like a maniac, while I commiserated with the mom hosting the party about how frustrated we are with the school and its complete lack of communication of news, like how many teachers and support staff leave without the parents being informed.

Bad: Work is being a pit of despair. We've lost a couple of days now to a data refresh on one of our environments, and it took forever for someone to find me a test login that worked in the open environment. Plus the request I'm working on should be finished, but I have to fix someone else's pre-existing code to get my part to fully run. In addition, the code review for another request I did came back with pages of changes, when all I did was copy and slightly adapt accepted code. I want to ask how the original sections didn't rack up the same errors, but I don't think that will go over well. I'll be working from home this weekend to try to catch up.

UGH: Being asked by a little girl in the Emperor's afterschool program if I was his grandmother. Bless the Emperor for scornfully saying that I wasn't old enough for that.

TGIF, everyone!
