    I should be drunk!

    must have been the worse day in my 5 years of IT.
    my only co-worker in IT decided to give leave and immediately demanded all outstanding salary. Obviously my boss told him to p!$$ off.

    Bugger formatted his computer, took all his code, went home, and coincidently 12 database tables get deleted from my database at the host in honk kong (I arranged with them for a sql and ftp password change at 6pm). Also Elvis ghost or someone went and logged into the mail server this guy was responsible for and changed everyone's email passwords.
    To top that, after I had the host (gawd...learn English mate!) restore my database (nearly 1g of data), and changed the password, I realized this bugger only left me the dll of a part of the website he developed and hard-coded the db password into it. needless to say...it's down completely.

    Can you believe this b@sta@rd'$ guts? Man, I should be drunk by now

    To think I got this job by being a forum member....figure huh?
