So maybe I'm just slow.. but..

Apparently the entire world is under the impression that if they continuously bother me while I'm really busy it will somehow make me work faster.

Well, it won't.

It will make me more irritated, more annoyed, more frustrated and more prone to obscenity. But! It cannot possibly make me work faster.

It's a very simple concept. If something has gone horribly wrong and it needs to be fixed *right now* and I am aware of it and already working on the issue, what do you think I'm doing? That's right, working as fast as I can. Now it is entirely possible that 'my fast as I can' is not quite fast enough but still, does not change the fact that it's simply not humanly possible for me to work faster than my maximum physically-allowable work speed. My brain will explode otherwise. Perhaps my fingers too. My wrists are sure to complain as well.

But you can bet your sweet code blocks that I will not insert multiple return statements anyway. Hah, take that, oh argumentative ones.

Ugh...I guess that sucks.
At least it's free.
Hotmail isn't all that bad, I don't get any spam for the e-mail.
Don't know about the phone though.

Welcome to the modern world! You can bet your bottom dollar that those who are doing the bothering are the technically inept, but think they know everything types...

The bliss of being a programmer :S

So this means..
"Kasia, we've got an error in production"
"Oh, let me take a look"

"Hey are you done yet?"
"Hang on i'm still looking"

"Done now?"
"Uhm, still looking"

"We really need that.."
"Riight.."

"Hey, can you hurry up? We're like..losing customers"
"Hey, can you leave me alone for like..3 minutes? I can't go any faster than i'm going now.."

"But.."
"Please?"

"Really..did you even remember?"
"I TOLD YOU ALREADY! IM GETTING IT DONE!!!"
