As I type I'm 'on a call' - what this means is something has gone tits up on Debenhams' Data Warehouse and I'm the one that investigates any issues it has this weekend.
Until today it's been a good data warehouse - although in the past few hours it's let itself go a little causing no fewer than 9 errors. I've taken care of 4, and someone else is now investigating the other 5 for me (hence I'm writing this - if there were anything I could do, I'd be doing it. But I'm out of ideas and it looks like it's an issue with the DB2 database itself - not my juris-frickin-diction as they say in Hollywood).
Every time I get a call I try to at least make it a pleasant event, with a very slowly drunk beer (the taste is good enough to please me now I'm getting older, without the side effects to match) and some great music.
Music wise (and this is the point of this post really) I try and get something that doesn't destract - just plays nicely in the background. Today I opted for one of my faves - none other than the mighty Pink Floyd.
Every time I listen to them I forget just how good they are, and how much I enjoy listening to them. A testemant to this is whenever I put on a Floyd track, I really struggle to listen to anything else straight after. So I end up listening to Floyd until I have to go somewhere other than at the PC.
I started this incident with Ummagumma (Live), followed by Atom Heart Mother and now I have time to actually pay proper attention to the music I'm listening to Dark Side of the Moon.
Superb.
