Falling asleep at work

[allison23]

I was just about half asleep at work when the phone rang and scared the crap out of me. Am I the only one with a boring job with nothing to do sometimes, or has anyone else done this? Just wondering. :)

been partying last night?

thats my world :?

At the beginning of my semesters, I have next to no work to do, so I get utterly, utterly bored.

Until after the mid-semester break, when there's too much work to do...

I've got close to falling asleep here before, but never through not having enough to do.

[DanDare]

Yeah my job's pretty boring staring at the screen all day, I often doze off.

I have a secret little place I go do take a power nap if things get really bad ;)

[Biker Biggles]

Don't knock it.Snooze while you can as if the boss notices you might have to work while at work.

I stayed up all night a little while ago and found myself falling asleep mid-work... I was actually DOING something and off I went... :lol:

At the beginning of my siesta, I have next to no work to do, so I get utterly, utterly bored.

Such childish behaviour at my expense :(

:P

LOL i don't mind!

I'm half asleep now, having just finished my report on antifungals (mmm nice subject)

Just as well you don't work in my office, I'd sack you :D

I'm sure when I get a proper job I won't have this problem. At the moment I'm just a lowly student office assistant at uni, and I pretend to be busy when the boss is about. :lol:

sorry that was my head hitting the keyboard... didn't fall sleep, just having a bad day.

Smae here grinch. Lack of sleep makes me grouchy and nasty and snappy. Heavy metal on to keep me tame!

Still Having a bad day Grinch :?:
Is this one of those days when you wish you had not got out of bed

[Baph]

I used to be almost falling asleep in my old job, but now I've moved that isn't the case. I actually prefer my brain to be engaged, so I'm not complaining.

Grinch, I know what you mean about having a bad day, I was given 4 hours to find a bug in the code, and fix it. The best fix me & 3 other developers can come up with has so far taken me over 8 hours (including investigation) to sort out.

For the geeks (who know java), I'm placing tightening restrictions around java's formater parse() function, building regexes on the fly depending on locale settings, basically re-inventing the wheel as a turbine engine! (I can show the code if you want to join me in regex hell).

[Grinch]

Bloody Java's memory leaks are causing me stress...

It's my day off today.

You have just sent me to sleep!

[Luckypants]

Baph! Behave, it's Friday FFS!

[allison23]

Day off, lucky! They just cancelled my uni at noon, yeah right after my shift gets out good job. So I am stuck here for a little bit longer, then off into the snowglobe! p.s. I'm in Michigan, I bet you don't have a flake of snow there!

looks wrong to me... nothing in particular... just wrong.

[Red ones]

Hardly lucky. 3 weeks out from Xmas means 2 things - late night opening, working every Saturday.

[Baph]

looks wrong to me... nothing in particular... just wrong.

That's actually the BETTER way to do it, otherwise I'm messing big time with an app that takes me around 15mins to just build. That, or I'm overriding the formatter complete, and the guys at Sun probably wouldn't like me for that (but my opinion of their function will stay off the forum...)

Anyway, I'll stop de-railing now :oops:

P.S. You were right, it is wrong. pattern[17] matches against ALL elements of matchingRegex[]. :(

I have a nice cold server room where I hide, if I'm really desperate I can rack myself in one of the cabinets and re-boot :)

My boss is in a different country... which is nice. I also have to travel between different offices, unfortunately I normally have too much to do to have a quiet nap.

What!


Poor C/C++ code give memory leaks, when coding in C I would look to free any constructs that I had created with a malloc call. Similarly with any C++ constructor methods a decent programmer should think about their destroy requirement. Like C#, because the java garbage collector collects unreferenced constructs you should not experience memory leaks as a result of the programming language. Therefore you either have poor code or an undersized platform and unfairly blaming the application because it is resource bound.


Yes I have seen **** poor java code. The same with c, c#, fortran pascal and numerous assemblers. Don't blame the language. Blame the programmer

[philipMac]

Go away out of that with your ugly Java Regex Baph.
I would lash out that regex in perl 1/4 that length. :lol:

Does java not have an ignore case thing? like $pattern =~ m/MM/i or whatever. That would lose you a few elts from that pattern arr for a start.

Edit, yeah, totally fall asleep at work. If I am not coding, and am listening to a seminar, and the room is all hot, and the lights are down, and he is going through some fecking nucleoporin subunit protein that I have no interest in at all, for 30 minutes, yeah, my brain does a little ctrl-Alt-backspacing,

As I tend to look after the OS... normally I blame the application... In this a Java memory leak in SAP net weaver portal 2004. Oh and I blame SAP for not giving me any information and making me look for it and find it was something completely different...
