Thanks for the input - that's helpful.

Hmmph.

FWIW I think you're right and the developer is wrong. If you can anticipate a problem, don't wait for QA to fix it, fix it first and use QA to test if the fix worked.

Apparently we need to have another come-to-Jesus talk about not calling me at work for bullshit reasons.

That seems like the kind of thing you can easily blame on The Man, no?

OMG, developer, stop fighting me. If the field is empty, the record will be discarded, and we need to handle that use case. Don't insist we wait until QA to think about it. DO IT NOW.

Are you working in my office ita !? Because I thought you were in So Cal. But bless you for trying to get it right BEFORE it gets to QA.

It would help if she were more stoic so I knew when to take her seriously. But she cries about the tags in her shirt and every gas bubble and if her sleeves stick out of her jacket. You know?

Hec, Liv's vadge is terribly susceptible to minor irritation, as well. We still apply Desitin to the labia if there is any sign of redness. But you could be dealing with after effects of the UTI and yeast infection.

Yes, lady bits are horrible with the upkeep. Fun to drive, not fun to own. They're like Jaguars.

Good. I asked him to explain to me exactly why he doesn't want to handle this error, and he capitulated. Of course, he's left the mechanism of error handling to me, but that's way better than just losing the records in the ether. It's nice to know "But I don't wanna!" isn't a good enough rationale to state for a development decision.

I finally decided to pull up the holiday playlist and the first song to come on random... In A Bleak Midwinter. Hrmp. I think maybe I'll try again later. Or stick with the punk rock advent calendar.

Heh.

It does sound like residual from the yeast infection. Make you you guys stress how important it is she wipes front to back; it sounds like she might have a system susceptible to UTI's. My little sister did; she was born without a bladder sphincter and had to have one...um, installed?

I never had one (a UTI, that is) till I was in my 30's. It just varies.

That's the tack I'm going to take. I think he just thinks of things and then calls me immediately so that he doesn't forget. I'll suggest he write stuff down to refer to when he calls me at home after work hours.

I heard it this morning! YAY!

but tonight thank god it's them, instead of you...

...and there won't be snow in africa this christmastime...

YAY!
