Flynn Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Computer programmer. Useless with a hammer or a screwdriver but not bad with a keyboard. Current job has me migrating your Life and Pensions policies from A to B and hopefully not screwing it up. People get a bit tense when we're amending and adjusting their contributions and pay-outs. I also do the "Could you just remove the malware from my laptop but don't lose the 8,000 pictures and songs I have on there... no, there's no backup of anything and it's all important and don't look in that folder because it's... private" stuff.

Flynn Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) data migrations suck, the best you can ever do is move some data, the worse is a complete and utter **** up I sense a disturbance in the force. There is "another" here... I'm with you there. No pain so far, other than the target platforms either being killed mid-migration, being useless or not being killed but remaining useless...

No pain so far, other than the target platforms either being killed mid-migration, being useless or not being killed but remaining useless... Indeed, i have a few scars from past deliveries, my heart always sinks whenever new projects are mentioned relating to migrations. So many scenarios you cant test for both functionally and non-functionally and no one understands the need to design the migration let alone the software changes and the various states the data would be in. Anyway ill stop boring others with the geek talk, will pm you my latest project cause im drunk, tired and bored and feel like sharing my homework Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norfolk dumpling Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Being not only in your condition, but also your position! Nobody can.call you a Scrounger I brought up My Son on my own also and Found out than not only did he have Autism, but Heart disease, Scoliosis, Sprengels deformity and Skeletal abnormalities! I was working as a Bus Driver before hand and had a varied work history up until then. I asked the company for a little understanding and the possibility of flexy hours! They refused point blanc, so I left! I looked Chris for the best part of 17 years now. He turns 18 in October After trying to get back into a Bus Driving roll with half a dozen different companies and failing, I decided to take my FLT course and found a Warehouse Job. Pay is NAFF but it's work. I am still looking for a PCV job if I can get one as I loved the job. Fortunately for me, I am not in bad health! "That I know of anyway" and Chris is becoming more independant! I can't see Chris will EVER leave home, But I don't mind really! Trying to get HELP wity Autism is a mine field and lottery. I got to know a LOT of parents of Autistic Children who were diagnosed early and statemented. They got DLA for their Children. With Chris being diagnosed late, He couldn't be statemented and.was NOT entitled to DLA Thats right! Heart Disease "bicuspid aeortic valve syndrome" Autism Sprengels deformity Not entitled to DLA? Yet all the other parents, because the kids were statemented GOT DLA for their kids! :lol: It's bloomin mad I hope you manage to get some sort of care sorted for your Child. The fact small changes can trigger mood pattern changes, then loosing YOU will have a HUGE impact! ATVB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
