I'm About To Cry

About an hour and a half ago, something bad happened. Really, really bad. I performed an operation in Eclipse (my source editor), and the next thing I knew my source tree was deleted.

It had a MONTH and a HALF of work. Some of the work even went back longer than that.

My body went into shock, tears almost began to flow, and my breathing got very tight. I felt nauseus. No, really, my body was going into shock mode...everything was pulsing around me.

I talked to Jim about ClearCase possibly being able to save my data -- which I doubted -- but he had confidence.

Long story short, ClearCase did nothing.

However, as I battled the shock to my system, I remembered that we switched from StarTeam to ClearCase mid-last week...and sure enough, my files were there!

I've lost 3 days of code, though. Traumatic enough. I'm starting to get out of my haze, but I will be working all evening to ... fuck, the build broke, hold on...

OK, I'm back. So, I'm gonna be here late and this totally sucks. I just want to be home with the Yog playing Windwaker or something. :-(

On top of getting my build back in order, I'm still doing work for another guy cause at my job I am the last pure Flash developer and they split me in a million ways. (Hence me making up time on a late project, because I get distracted by so much other work!)

Hold on....fucking file mutex....!

So I'd say I have 3 hours left in me. I should have been checking this thing in right now...now I face over a day of code updates plus RE-TESTING! This is truly a nightmare, all while my next project still hasn't been touched and the other developers have a week head start on me.

Why won't this fucking company hire a new Flash guy for god's sake?
