I was thinking the same thing.

I have things I'd like to post but am kind of overwhelmed by life these days, mostly due to job issues. Long story short I've been trying to get my current employer to let me transition from a front end developer (user-interface stuff) to a backend database developer which requires them to find someone to take on some of the work I've been doing, though the language I program in is being phased out so there's not much for others to take over. Anyway yada yada yada starting next month they said I will be 100% doing database stuff, mostly things I didn't learn the in class I took to get me started in that area so I have to try to learn it now. (The yada yada yada part includes an episode in which I learned that incompetent + happy is preferred over competent + frustrated by co-workers who don't listen to you and managers who lie to you about supporting your career development.)

Being from Long Island I have to ask -- what's the yiddish word? I wonder if I know it.
