I work in a parking garage, you’d think that parking your car would be a simple enough task.

You guys might think you wouldn’t be surprised how stupid people can be, but you don’t know the half of it, trust me :idiots

Idiot move of the day: Co-worker ran an update query…and forgot to put specific IDs. Bye bye 50,000+ rows of live data.

Well…no…thankfully we log EVERYTHING our software does to the database, so with some XML and SQL we can reconstruct it. Also, the guy that did it realized what he did as he hit the button and stopped the query as fast as he could. Had he not done that, every medicaid trip ever scheduled for 7/30/08 and on would have been lost.

Oh, and why we cant rollback is cause upper management is too cheap to buy rollback software and we STILL don’t have our failover clustering setup

I think anybody who has ever worked in retail realizes that a person is smart, but people are idiots.
