Ya know it's going to be a bad day when.....

You just got a new hard drive, just got everything re-installed and have successfully mass compiled your LabVIEW 8.0 directory.

You start LabVIEW 8.2 and start mass compiling that installation, only to discover (an hour later) that you are mass compiling the 8.0 directory.

I wish the mass compile tool had a directory verification step.

Oh well, off to repair 8.0

when you open someone elese's vi that you need to debug and you discover 30+ frames of Stacked Sequential Structures, where 1/2 the sub-vi have the outputs to the right and the other half have the vi outputs to the left. This was probably done to simplify where the wires run to a sequence local. However, midway within the sequence, the left outputs are routed to the right, and vice-versa..

The bad day part is that is the least of your problems!!!! here is an example

"better" is a complete different ballpark... at least I feel more secure using Firefox...

Ya know it's a good day when

TCPlomp — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 06:49:38 GMT

Well I just tried with IE, and that is definitely not working

LAVA is up and running again.

OpenG is up and running again.

Maybe LAVA needs a shot of Viagra. Keeps it up for 4 hours.

If your volcano experiences an eruption lasting more than 4 hours, please see your geologist.

Yeah, but that would change the title to: "Ya know it's going to be a GOOD day when..."

You know it's going to be a bad day when you forget to reset your alarm clock after losing power due to the seventh snow snow in seven weeks, having to go outside to scrape your car and your daughter's car and the temperature is -9 (F), and then when you finally get to work, learn that the heat is off in your office.

Re: Ya know it's going to be a GOOD day when.....

Ray.R — Fri, 02 Feb 2007 16:58:09 GMT

Dennis,

That used to be a normal day up here in the Great White North... And thanks to global warming, we have pretty much no snow and +30F (-1C) outside today!!

Oh yeah, and warm cubicles... It's a good day after all.. 😄

YKIGTBABDW...

You forget to set your alarm,

But your internal clock gets you up early so you make it to work early anyway...

Then when checking for your wallet before pulling into the parking garage, you find you had forgotten it,

But because you are there early you manage to get home and back before you are due at work.

Then you walk into the machine room and are greated by the operators when they say,

"I thought you were going to be on vacation today Ben."

Ben....

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhh 😮 😮 😮

that would be a bad day!!!

BUT: you can leave immediately and beat the traffic home for once...

THEN: before you make your exit, an emergency comes up at work and they desperately need you (what's new, right?)

BUT: being a super-duper programmer, you solve it by lunch time and still make it home before the afternoon traffic jam..

.... then wonderwhat the day was about??? 😮 ???

Why don't y'all all just move to Arizona, where a bad winter day is a cloudy sky and the temperature is 50 degrees F. On second thought, stay where y'all are, its crowded enough over here already.
