So this week I started a new job, got ill, got sweaty at the hands of the hottest days, didn’t sleep, got confused and disoriented, felt lost and very, very alone.

I spent this morning writing some really neat code. Spent all afternoon trying to work out why it was seemingly running away and sending the server up to 100% cpu when there was nothing visibly wrong at the client. The pages were finishing loading. My code was full of fail-safes to protect against run away loops. There was nothing ‘wrong’ as such with my code. The logic was good.

The server burning up 100% cpu stops the whole development team from working, and sends a sys-admin off into the server room looking cross. This would be the new dev team and the new sys-admin that I just starting working with this week. Way to make a good impression.

So add frustration and helplessness to the list, and chuck another ‘very’ on the ‘alone’.
