Oof. Damn back pain flaring up again. Everytime we have temperature fluctuations my upper back hurts pretty badly. I usually try to crack my own back or end up taking ibuprofen but the discomfort still lingers. I'm convinced I have an arthritic spine, or scoliosis catching up to me in my old age.

Thanks to the a-hole that swiped my car and destroyed my sideview mirror. City of Mpls plow drivers, i'm looking at you. Second time this has happened

That really blows. The bright side, a couple of inches away from being much worse.

True, just frustrating. Prior to that I had to have my back windshield replaced because it shattered from road debris from another driver. But the sideview mirror was to be expected. We got over a foot of snow in the last 2 days so snow emergency parking sucked. Had to shovel my way out this morning

Another day, another coding test.
I've been put forward for a contract role with a major consultancy company, who want to place a developer into a bank. Naturally, despite both sides of the client relationship being profitable, the rate on offer is 20% to 30% down on what it should be.
The consultancy is complaining that they can't find anyone to fill the role (funny that), and that they interviewed and rejected me last year, so they're being a bit shirty.
I'm toying with sending them an email pointing out the various flaws in the coding test from a software engineering perspective (incomplete specification, unrealistic time estimate, and that it contains the cardinal sin of premature optimisation), just to be a bit of a smart alec.
It's probably a stupid thing to do, but might be fun.
Incidentally, I wish that employers would realise that the recruitment process is two way. Putting off candidates before you've interviewed them isn't going to help you find good staff.

I say get the results first, and THEN school them on the short comings you see…
If you get the job, it would help the company in the future with their recruitment process... If you don't get the job, it will help you in the future when you apply again, lol

Only in England does the temp drop to -5C while the flowers and trees are starting to bloom…
No notable snow all winter so far in Suffolk, but now in the last stretch, here comes the "Snowpocalypse"… Enough snow that the Greater Anglia Train line has had to cancel a couple of their routes for the time being.

We got over a foot of snow a few days ago. That's a snowpocalypse.
