Well, since you asked, today's nightmare is building a validation script for approximately a thousand different json (and a small handful of xml) configuration files (with no published documentation) that determines functional correctness (as well as simply proving that they parse without exceptions) for a news delivery system that feeds just about every major player in the financial industry.
Or rather, I've been trying to figure out how to do that while having the guy behind me tell me the same old man stories he's been telling me for the last year and a half while the guy next to me keeps leaning over, looking at my screen, and then walking me through what's going on with his Facebook page. That's right, guy next to me: I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU.
You should ask me this again in about five hours. The answer will be something along the lines of drinking a beer and figuring out how to get the job where I'm responsible for adding unnecessary goofy shit to well-known standards. If there's not another position open for that, I might look into garbageman instead, just cause I think it might be nice to have a job where I have to deal with people's stupid shit a little less than I do now.
