@asgs Thanks, it's a company car so it's not as bad as if it was my car.
But I hope it's recoverable because I really like this car. -

Woa, recover well from that shitload.
@katbreitin
When it's the bus drivers fault, this should not be of an issue. -
@scor thanks, back at the client today, hoping to finally get done with everything there
-
@katbreitin actually the company car is almost mandatory for my job. I do web development but I also spend a lot of time going to clients for deploys
-
@jak645 I would if I could.
We a have a big deadline for mid March for one of our clients.
And now, the client I went to want us to deploy in other countries ASAP.
I'm new in the company but already have a lot of responsibilities. I have to handle several clients by myself and supervise the externs working in our team.

tommy15Right now someone at Google is coding something useless for us to laugh at on April Fools.
The story of the shittiest, FUCKING WORST day of work.
TLDR: shitty day at work, car crash to end the day.
So, let tell you about what could possibly be the worst day I had since I started working.
This morning, my alarm didn't work, woke up 30 minutes before an appointment I had with a client.
Arrived late at the client, as I start deploying. They don't have any way to transfer the deployment package to the secured server. Lost 45 minutes there.
Deployment goes pretty well. My client asks me to stay while they load some data into the app. Everything's pretty easy to work out. Just need to input 3 CSV with the correct format (which the client defined since the beginning).
I end up watching an Excel Macro called "Brigitte" (I'm not fucking kinding, could'nt have thought of that) work for 4 hours straight. Files are badly formatted and don't work.
Troubbleshooting thoses files with a fucking loader that does not tell you anything about why it failed (our fault on that one)
I leave the client at 7:30pm, going back at work, leave at 9pm.
At this point, I just want to buy some food, go home and watch series.
But NO, A FUCKING MORRON OF A BUS DRIVER had to switch lanes as I was overtaking him. Getting me crushed between the bus and the concrete blocks.
Cops were fucking dickheads, being very mean even tho I was still shaking from the adrenaline.
In conclusion, the day could have been worst. The devs at the clients are pretty cool guys and we actually had some fun troubleshooting. At work, there was still one of my colleagues who cheered me up telling me about his day.
And when I think of it, I could have got really hurt (or even worst) in the crash.
A bad day is a bad day, tomorrow morning I'm still going to get up and go to a job I love, with people I love working with.
Very big rant (sorry about that if someone's still reading)
