What's that ? Saying you wont and then doing it anyway ?

Fucks sake. Best go home before I hit something.

A reminder about traffic lights: On green- go. Do not just sit there like a lemon, because you'll force all the people expecting you to go straight through to brake. In the wet. And the cold.

Well, it's taken almost a week (just in time for another out of hours deployment), but at last I've got back the hours I worked till midnight swearing at Oracle - the 1031 start just turned into a virtual 7.30 start :-)
