I don't remember soccer being so exciting.

I'm currently "at work" (which is more of a mental than a physical state). I wanted to see what was happening in the South Korea - Switzerland soccer match, so I fired up ESPN's Gamecast. This is the recap:

I almost crapped my pants at missing something so exciting... until I realized... oh yeah. It's soccer. I realized that the CAPS LOCK effect was making the game seem much more exciting than it really was. So here is MY attempt to make MY day seem fascinating (don't you feel left out?)

8:50AM - LETS GET IT STARTED! - Day begins. Roy fires up Pageant and checks email and bugs list. Will there be any exciting bugs to be triaged today?! Things are quiet for the moment...

8:55AM - CRITICAL ERROR! - An email exposes a critical user flaw in an edge image case stored in the content! An exciting bug that needs to be triaged... Roy files a formal bug report and sets the high priority (and then assigns the bug to himself).

9:30AM - NEW SUBROUTINE!!!!!! - The long-standing bug with overflowing filenames is adeptly handled with the creation of an autotruncating function! No more will there be overlapping text in the image gallery cells!!!!! Roy skillfully applied his knowledge of the English language by applying the ellipse (...) as placeholder for the truncated text!!!!

12:45PM - LUNCH TIME!!!!!!!11 - Lunch consists of a PB&J sandwich! NOURISHMENT OF THE BODY ... NOW THE BODY IS READY TO TACKLE THE TASKS SET BEFORE HIM!

2:25PM - COMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Revision 845, committed to the MAIN BRANCH, commits the truncating text fix tested earlier in the morning. There is also a minor AESTHETICAL update to the way <pre> tags are handled in print cases for Internet Explorer!!!!!!!

... and that would probably be my day.

heh.

If you had seen the Argentina-Mexico game (or at the very least, followed on Gamecast, trust me, the caps would have been warranted. What a game.
