The maniac CEO has just announced that no one is going home until a particular bug is fixed. A bug I am not working on, and have nothing to do with. Am seriously considering saying "I Quit!" and walking out.
This Friday is the Friday on or after this day. Next Friday is the Friday on or after the next day. Thus, if today isn't Friday, these both mean the same thing...
At least that's how I was taught. I know it differs from place to place. *shakes fist at the gods of futility*
Yeah, it's like when you count down to a date... some people count the day they start counting, as well as the day of the date they are counting down to... Makes little sense to me to count today in the count down... but I always count the day I am counting down to... some people do not count either. I used to think that it was a geographical thing... which is likely still... but I find that scary scientific/mathematic type people, etc. often do things, uhm, differently. Then again, so do the artsy fartsy people...
Anywho, I think I did include the date of the Friday, just to be sure there was no ambiguity... didn't I?
