Caffeine + Data Runs = A Recipe for Disaster.
So, this afternoon I'm doing some rather large data mining runs against our Oracle server. Also, I've been drinking coffee all day, although I moved to diet soda after lunch. So I'm sitting here, writing SQL code and twitchign mightily from the massive amounts of caffeine, and I overhear a conversation my bosses are having. One of them said domethign about being from Wisconson, where Jefferey Dahmer was from, and then continued to say, "Wasn't Gacy form Wisconson?" Of course, at this point, my ears perked up but my brain instantly bypassed my mental filter and I said "No". Of course, I'm still typing SQL at this point and haven't looked up. I continued...."Gacy was the one who dressed up as a clown for kids parties." My boss said, "Huh....well whoever it was made furniture out of the bones and lampshades out of the tanned skin of his victims." My reply:
"Well, you know, 'Waste not, want not' and all that."
Silence. I looked up and they were all stares.
I love this job sometimes.
