customer support
I\'d been on a roll all week, fixing about 2-4 bugs a day. (Wednesday was the 2 day, which slowed me down because QA posted a critical bug that turned out to be a configuration problem on their end). Today: nothing. Well, I got some stuff done, but nothing is closed. Oh well. We\'re allowed a slow day every once in a while.
There\'s a support conference thing here at work. People from the UK and Germany offices are in for training and stuff. Whatever they do at support conferences. Actually, I guy in from the UK brought in a bunch of Walkers potato chips. Er, crisps. Mm, Marmite. I particularly liked the Great British Dinners series. The Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding ones were actually good. The Lamb with Mint Sauce... not so good. Sadly, no Greek Kebab flavour (that\'s Gyros to you and me).
Speaking of Support, they\'re hosting some sort of \"Customer Care Outing\" for us lowly developers who\'ve helped them with customer issues. That\'s tonight. So I\'ll probably pass. The free drinks weren\'t much of a draw anyway. I am a little disappointed that these things always seem to conflict with other things. I\'d like to get out for these little coworker socialization events more, but it never seems to work out. I never really know what to do with myself at those things, but it\'s probably time I worked on figuring that out.
