A Day in the Life of Galen

This is what happened today, in my life
-------------------------------------------------

The alarm rings at 6am. I ignore it.
Alarm #2 starts ringing ay 7am. I ignore it.
Both stop ruinging at 8am. Time to get up.
Don't get out of bed until 8:30. Ugh. Time for shower
I made it into work at 9:05. I read /., SNP, TheReg, etc.
I started on 3 data outputs. The first was done by 11:30.
I start the second at 12:30 after lunch. I notice missing data, screwed up other data and other really bad s***. (uh-oh, I f***** up again) lala My manager and another guy who's been with the firm for 2 years worked on figuring out what the hell I did over the past 4 weeks of the project to jack it up so bad. While they did that I formatted some 3 thousand new data records for another project that's been running since April and won't end until the end of June. Anyways...sometime around 5pm we figured out what I/the losers at the call centers did. Sometime around 5:30 I started on the output. time passes - more time passes - - and even more f****** time passes. I finished the output at 11pm. I had to do half of the bloody output by hand. None of the macors could compinsate for the weird stuff I had done. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention I have to complete the 3rd output by 10am tomorrow? I probably should have just pulled an all nighter to finish it, but bahh. Screw it.

At least I made $168 for the day.
