				    I am this die hard fan of House, MD. A medical Based Drama TV series.
 
 I find soo many similarity between how doctor House diagnosis patients and how we coders debug code.
 
 Why the flying-fuck is there not a similar show for engineers?
 
 Where engineer is followed closes as he debugs a problem? And saves the day?
 
 Why god why.
 
 I just pray for this miracle to happen.
 
 (To start with Dr.House abused vicodin, we coders abuse caffeine and sudo chmod 777 :P )9

 me: Okay gimme 3 days and some sample PDFs.
 pm: they won't supply any sample PDFs because they contain confidential information.
 me: okay fine, I'll download some from the interwebs.
 
 ** 3 days later **
 
 me: here is the pdf compression app. all done and works with all of about 100 PDFs we tested with.
 pm: okay great I'll have the client take a look.
 
 ** half and hour later **
 
 pm: the client said that the compression app errors out.
 me: okay I'll go look at the server logs to see what's up.
 
 ** 10 seconds later **
 
 me: what the shit is a "foxit phantompdf" file.
 pm: it's the proprietary pdf format that they are using.
 me: oh joy. I'll go try to find some sample files and see if I can fix it.
 
 ** 1 hour later, no sample files found **
 
 pm: got anything?
 me: *sobs obnoxiously*9
