That's why I keep a freeze well stocked with frozen pizzas... 🙂

    weekender: Yeah, I've gotta find something to do whilst backing up servers that have been hastily fixed...

    pyro: unfortunately we don't have a freezer at work and when I cam in this morning, I wasn't expecting to work a 18+hr day :p

      my boss had a good solution for backups...

      take 1 placement student (myself)
      treat badly for a year
      entice him with money to stay for a further two years as a contractor
      make him stay to do backups

      and my solution...
      change backup tape
      go to pub
      company credit card behind bar
      return to switch tape
      back to pub
      back to tape
      sleep on big leather sofa in office, "work from home" the following day

        Ahh, a placement student like myself. And I'm the only IT guy. Hence why I'm here.

        I'm assuming you're english (timezones and all that). Which Uni u at?

          i'm at oxford brookes. i started in 99, did my placement in 01-02, and ever since then i've been a contractor for them. and now in my fifth and final year at uni.

          what about you? which uni? how long have you been doing php? you seem to know your stuff

            I'm in my 3rd year at Uni of Surrey. Been doing PHP for abuot 18 months now. Unfortunately, placement is ASP 🙁

            Seem to spend quite a bit of time on here tho...

              I'm with pyro. Frozen Pizza's. Mass amounts of Mountain Dew. And some cigarettes.

                can you still buy mountain dew anywhere here in the uk? haven't seen it for at least 8 years.

                but i keep hearing that you yank geeks love it.

                  Yep, I drink that stuff like water on my late night coding sessions.

                    i hate mountain dew. flame away but good coffee is my drink of choice

                      Same, I hate mountain dew to! I drink Kirkland Iced Tea, and LOTS(and I mean lots) of it! Munchies tho, not sure, whatever I can find I guess.. maybe.. carrots? 😕

                        for munchies..... it may sound wierd but olives ill me up really well. that and ice-cold milk.

                          carrots...tea....olives....milk.......

                          Don't worry boys. Once ya hit puberty, you'll appreciate the finer things in life. Like Mountain Dew 😃 😃

                            I have tried to stop eating stuff not good for me, hence the carrots. And not tea, Iced Tea! Two very different things! 😉

                              Like the difference between Moutain Dew and Code Red? Sorry, my mistake 😃
