Writing unit tests in Ruby for a Rails app.
Run debugger
wait 30 seconds for the full rails environment to fire up
discover test crashes because of a misplaced comma or colon in the json
repeat
Eventually:
start debugging code to see why the test fails
discover code is broken because of a misplaced comma, colon, brace, bracket, or some other bullshit
fix code
repeat

Go on Marc tell us what you really think!
I want to retire in 18 months and am hoping I can hang in there with WPF until then. I'm dodging a need to get involved in the HTML/CSS scripting crap by delegating to a young whipper snapper who is slated to take of my position.

Only problem is I will be like the other old farts here, can't walk away from developing, still it will be nice not to HAVE to produce to a deadline,  I look forward to that.

Just burned my thumb on a really very hot plate straight from the oven.
I'm thinking three generations after me are going to feel the burn.
Luckily that thumb only does an occasional backspacebar...

I'm reminded of a guy I worked with, who thought it would be ok to grab a roasting pan out of a 350°F oven bare handed. I'm betting a good bit of scotch went in to that decision. He sat around here, doing nothing but whining, with 'club hand' bandages for a month. Apparently laughter is not a form of sympathy. Anyway, I hope yours get better soon.

What sort of weird keyboard do you have where your thumb is best placed to hit the backspace key?

I meant backspacebar 
Let's just say it's the pain I'm going through that's clouding my mind

It doesn't always make you physically laugh, but the term Happy Gas is about as accurate as they get.

They still use it as a pain killer in ambulances under the name of "Gas and Air"
Plus, you can squirt it into your engine and get Really Happy (for a short while).

I prefer squirting it into a balloon. But, I did seriously think about adding it to my first car. Would have been quite the 1400cc Datsun with a bit of the old nitrous.

I've thought of adding it to various of my bikes as well - only to abandon the idea when I realise how big the bottle is of you want to use it for any significant time! 
It nearly made it onto my VW Trike though - until I remembered I could already lift the front end off the ground with one hand...
