Yes, quite right. and it would have been an awsome number to pick, had i thought of that number instead of 7.77 when i started this game, but it didn't seem fair to change it just because it was cooler.

its not fair 6 bribed and gave lots of gold for the answers...

[Retread]

of course, I understand that Pi isn't that exact number. Since Pi continues ad infinitum...

[Ruski]

Well, to get arround that, you did put the actuall Pi symbol up there... and that's pretty much as exact as it can be, and we did limit it to 10 digits, just for the sake of time.

What's Infinity in ten digits?

[Ruski]

(I'd talk more, but someone just deleted all of the index tables in the database, and the latest backup is from monday of last week)
*sigh* if it wasn't my boss, he'd soo be fired.

As it is there'll be a present in his chair after lunch  

[luna]

go for it and tell us all bout it when it happens  

[Ruski]

LOL, well, i have a killer migrane right now, and not much time to deal with it.
*sigh*
here's the short version:
My boss, took it upon himself to be incharge of the backup system i set up. (a rotation of removeable hard drives that are remotely mirrored off of the server, getting the entirety of the database, and working data we use on a daily basis), and with this newfound responcability, he thought that a year of 'pointless' backups would allow him some leaway in when he took care of it.
Then, he disregarded the safty operating procedures on the database index rebuild, and decided that he didn't need to have everyone out of the databse when he re-indexed it.

so, he crashed the entire database, corrupting it from the groud up, and neglected to back it up more recent than 10 days ago. so, i was here untill 11PM a couple nights in a row putting the network back together, and automating part of the security system (i'm getting raid 1 hot swapable drive controllers for the server next week) and setting it up so we could pull all of the hardcopy paperwork and re-enter 10 days worth of data. (we are eight days caught up to two days ago at this point)
*sigh*
buisy buisy buisy.
hopefully in a week or so my job will go back to it's normal goofing off normality.

Wow, that's a pretty big screw up on your boss' part... I mean, really

[Ruski]

Yea. if it was my fault, i'd be out of a job, but seeing as how it's his company... well,... it just becomes my mess to clean up.

-RuskiFace the Pirate

But, i guess that's what i get paid for anyways...

[kv]

Think about it, though- things like this mean that they will NEVER EVER be able to get rid of you. The only time they'll try to replace you is when you've decided that you've had enough of thier crap (or have finished school) and leave.

So you can get any amount of money, get away with any amount of goofing off, and they have to keep you. You have tenure... they CAN'T FIRE YOU.

So congrats.
