Is bob having a bad day

24th June 2008 - 17:15 - bob

Occasionally people ask me is bob is having a bad day. Well this page aims to answer that question.

On any given day bob may be having a bad day, but on the whole most days aren't too bad.

To answer the question fully you should look to the following for guidance:

  • Is Bob working on a project that is already running late
  • Has Bob had sufficient tea coffee today
  • Has Bob had enough sleep - lack of sleep may simply be due to too much work, being woken-up by Linus or Gabriel or some combination of the two
  • Does bob have to do something that he really doesn't want to do today? This may include, but not be limited to, answering stupid questions, writing documentation or filling-in expenses claims

If you have any doubt about the above, you may find it useful to ask and maintain some sort of score.

Having a bad day isn't just limited to just the above, it could be that he just doesn't want to be nice to you.

At some point, this 'is bob having a bad day' page may be more useful - but not for now.
