• Rockin’ good time

    It’s Monday, it’s not even 10 o’clock in the morning and already I’ve got people whining and bitching. The best part, you set a database to do a certain thing, have it that way for years, get everyone used to it working that way, and then, after all this time, a VP decides that’s not…
