OK, so I'm taking a nice peaceful lunch break, not hurting anyone, not wanting to take any manly aggression out on any furry woodland creatures...... well you get the point....

So in between bites of fried rice/beef n broccoli, I read this S-M Byte:

Kwitko: i have to work on a proposal to change our company e-tail site into something that actually works
primesuspect: fun
Kwitko: it's only 3 years old, but it's just godawful. You have to see the backend to manage the products. The company that made it left no instructions, and didn't use any friendly table names, so you have to know what *their* definitions are
primesuspect: You should see the backend that *I* have to manage.
primesuspect: it's a mess back there.
Kwitko: i'll send you a screenshot tomorrow
Kwitko: if you delete a single product, you just might delete a whole product group
primesuspect: At least yours isn't hairy....
Kwitko: i have no reply
Kwitko: i'm going to turn off the monitor and step away from the pc...

OMG!!!! ;D ;D ;D Now I have sweet-n-sour sauce all over my shirt, pieces of broccoli on my monitor, and fried rice coming out my nose, I'm giggling like a circus clown on laughing gas, and my co-workers are looking sorrowfully into my office like the IT guy has finally cracked!

From this point forward we need a warning disclamer on all S-M Bytes! Only trying to save us from lawsuits, and other litigation problems! ...Now pardon me while I get the rest of the fried rice out of my sinus cavity.......................

...Now pardon me while I get the rest of the fried rice out of my sinus cavity....................... That's OK, as long as your back end isn't a mess as well. Is it? :scratch: :shakehead

No my back end kept its mouth shut during this temporary loss of sanity! ;D If it had started adding its own 2c during my laughing spree, I would be looking for a new job now.... partially out of embarassment, partially because my co-workers would have moved my desk outside after the "smoke" had cleared...
