Technician my ass

Hello!

Time out, timeout, timeout...Really?!!


While working on my family tree I got an e-mail from a second or third generation cousin informing me that the father and mother of my great great grandmother were not really my great great grandparents but rather the son and daughter. WTF! My world came crumbling down, I was devastated, no point on going on. How was I going to tell this to my wife? she that had finally come to understand my family background. I will probably have to get color crayons and paper to draw the new family tree to her. In other words I don't give a flying beep! No really! I respect the person that provided me this information but at this stage in the game they could have been cousins of my great great-grandmother. All that matters is that they were related to me.

Hang on Chuck! Weren't you the one working on this tree trying to be objective and getting the proper information was essential?


Well yes, I am the one who wanted to work on the tree and make it as truthful as could be. But this is before changing data beeped up my database and I had to rebuild it from scratch. Do you know how painful this is? I rather have a root canal than to troubleshoot a computer problem. The first thing you do when something like this appear is reboot the computer stupid windows never works anyways. But the problem still persists, so what next? Is a beeping virus! Scan the beeping computer! Do you know how long this takes? I had time to get a bath while the PC was being scan. No, no virus.

Okay, is the stupid Microsoft Windows patches I installed yesterday. Okay, let's restore to when the computer was working properly. Beep no, it's not that. Okay, I can always shut down the computer and do a proper reboot. Guess what? No way José! I checked everything there was to check and I couldn't find the problem. Then a light bulb went on in my head! The changes I made to the database corrupted the application.

Okay so I didn't have to rebuild my family tree I had a backup. And faster than you can say eat shit and die, my system was working.

How the hell was I a top-notch technician with speech recognition software I have no clue.

I'm not going to change my family tree, I will just amend the information to these people. So much for objectivity and truthfulness.


Have a nice day!
