I've done maybe 10 minutes of work today. 10 minutes tops, probably less. I did too much yesterday and now I am bored again. I feel nauseous. Sitting here at work it making me feel nauseous. I want to vomit all over the place right now. Not because I want to befoul the workplace because I feel nauseous and my stomach is playing tricks on me. I just looked up the word nauseous and apparently the way I use it is incorrect. Nauseous means "causing nausea" not "affected with nausea". Although the way I use it is the way most people use it, which is an incorrect usage. The funniest part about it is that the correct usage of the word is being replaced by "nauseating". So basically the correct usage of the word "nausea" is almost never used and the word meaning is changing to the incorrect usage. I want to go home, there is nothing else for me to do today. I am leaving at 4:30pm. I only took a half-hour lunch anyway. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I am so bored. I can't sit still anymore. Good think I have an ultamite game, I am full of piss and vinegar. I just realized that this place has terrible database design. Can I find a place that implements competent database design? Does anyone know how to design a database? This is ridiculous. I think it is the result of someone who didn't know database design principles setting it up. I think people look at Access and think hey this is easy to use then fuck it up royaly Good database architechts must be hard to find or something.

Designing a good database is a very conceptual process. It isn't very mathematical although some would like to treat it like that. Sure there is mathematics that form the foundation but you have to visualize data and how it is going to be used if you want a good database design. I think most people here are programmers and db administrator types because the piss poor db design doesn't reflect expertise in relational data modeling strategies. Which is sad because they have really competent people and good front end systems but this crappy-ass db structure must be a hinderance.
