Ive just had a 40minute conference call where my input was saying 'yes' 3 times. On two of those occasions i had to be asked the question twice because i was singing Kasabian songs in my head imagining seeing them live

Ha ha, yesterday I made a major balls up!

I'd missed out a bit of my SQL WHERE clause and ended up changing 25,000 orders instead of the 5 I actually wanted to change. Phones were going mental and I had to nip home to sort it out in peace and quiet away from everyone flapping! It was far from straight forward to fix as well because the bloke who designed the database didn't have ID fields in the table so it wasn't as straight forward as I'd have liked fixing it from the backup.

First time I've done anything like that in about 10 years!

Ironically, on Monday I was writing up instructions for my assistant who will be looking after the system whilst I'm away, which emphasised the importance of testing your WHERE clauses with a SELECT before doing an UPDATE. At least I was able to test out the emergency procedures I'd specced out :ph34r:

It's a good thing my boss has a sense of humour! :huh:

My boss told me to enjoy the festival as she was leaving today and i had to point out I still have 2 days left of work- there was a look of dismay on her face - think i have ground her down with all my excitement and popping into her office every 5 minutes saying "guess what ill be doing this time next week?!?!?!?!!!!!"

My boss has been off all week and I have done sweet f**k all apart from look at glasto stuff :ph34r:

so next week looks likes this for me:

Monday: Blag / Explain that I have actually done some work, it just doesn't look like I have. :lol:

Tuesday: Boss is off so another day of nothingness / excitement / trying to explain to people in the office why I'm so excited.

Wednesday: Relax and Enjoy :huh:

You know the rest.....

Done my last shift before Glasto today :ph34r:

I managed to control myself right up to the point where Blur's 'Girls and Boys' came on over the tanoy system and was played thoughout the shop. Spent next 4mins singing along to it- getting some strange looks from customers as they walked past :huh: Remaining 6hrs of my shift was spent with a huge grin on my face and endless chatter about Glasto and general Glastobating. Lost count of how many times I told folk where i'll be in a weeks time.

My workmates probably had a party when I left today. Think a few of them were a tad annoyed that since Feb all ive talked about has been Glasto this and Glasto that.

Tell me about it. It's been impossible to concentrate for about three weeks now. Particularly as I work in Bristol on the fifth floor of a large block and my window looks South towards Somerset. Keep awaking from a deep Glastonbury day dream to find myself staring past my screen and out of the window towards Worthy Farm...

    • Audrey Hobert getting a lot of traction lately and new single on Friday. Wonder if she could be round next summer.
    • Think Pulp are optimistic, not in terms of size but just that they've been on the road (albeit not intensively) for 3 years in a row and it feels like EotR is the deliberate end of the cycle.   Would be fairly surprised if they're active next year.
    • 👍 plus they brought their own screens 📺 either side of the stage.
    • Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha
