Mundane facts about your day...

Took me about 2 hours to get the code right to update a field from a count in the subquery. I wrote the functional spec and UATed the database I was using but that was 10 years ago and I moved away from needing to code 7 years ago. It started to come back by 5.30!

Honestly it’s been ages for me too, I mostly use an ORM so rarely actually write SQL these days.

In web dev you basically write SQL yourself in two scenarios: when you’re just starting out, and when you’re doing super complex direct database stuff. Everything else is generated for you

Welcome back.

However ..... you are late on parade, so, you're on a charge.

You will no longer be allowed to consume hospital food.

There will be no vibrating bed. (Or any other questionable behaviour. )

A suitable punishment which will be reviewed on a regular basis.

Again: Welcome back.

It's my guess you had an airwave mattress on the bed. It undulates as you lie on it. Helps in the prevention of skin damage - Bed sores etc.
They do vibrate from time to time.

I tell you .... I've heard some excuses in my time. But that one takes the biscuit .....

I knew an old boy who had an electric 'stand you up' chair that also had a massage function, unknown to me. When he was about to be released back home, I went round to fire the heating up and get some food in for him, etc.

I made sure that the chair was plugged in and working, as he did need it, then I started the boiler and went for the food. The house still wasn't really 'warm' when I returned, so I decided to run the heating on a bit, before I set it onto the timer, as he was due back the next day.

Rather than just sit about, I decided to run the Hoover round. I did the whole house and finished in the sitting room. It was a small bungalow and the Hoover had a long lead - he had changed it himself, so you could reach the whole house from a socket in the hall.

When I turned the Hoover off, there was the most alarming pulsating throbbing sound through the whole house, I could even feel it through the floor. Concerned that I might be going to blow his house up, I ran into the kitchen and shut the boiler down - but, the throbbing continued. I was close to just running away, when I realised that it was loudest in the sitting room.

Eventually, I realised that it was the chair that was the source of the throbbing and I had hit the massage button with the Hoover and set it running.

Until then, I didn't even know it was supposed to do that.

I had to have a sit down for a few minutes...

So the marg spreading and fitting through the bars worked then

Lay low for a while til the heat is off.

Glad you're home and hope you're feeling better soon.

Hope The Carer is spoiling you.
Take it easy.

Is this some sort of Facebook leakage that i'm not-on-Facebook enough to understand?

Leakage from deduction in the What's for tea thread.
