Insanely Awe-dical

I'm a pretty good programmer, but as unexperienced as I am, I tend to make simple mistakes that take a while to fix at times.

This morning I came into the office for a conference call scheduled for 10am Eastern Time (turns out it was 10am PST), and I start coding. Naturally my patience level is worn thin by the fact that i am about 2 hours early into the office, but hey, that's the job. Hopefully I can be out of here by 4, but knowing how the dice rolls sometimes, I probably wont be out until 6.

I did have a very humorous moment (literally LOL sort of moment) and I feel it has already made my day. I am making iterative changes to my code and trying to see what the problems are. Sometimes I read my errors out loud to connect my brain to it a little quicker. Here is an error I just received:

"Service cannot be started. System.ArgumentException: The source 'PTGateway' is not registered in log 'Application'. (It is registered in log 'Appplication'.) "

I read this whole thing out and I actually end saying "Apppppppppppppppppppppplication." I laugh out loud - typos are the bane of programming woes. Any first year coder will have problems with semicolons, exact case sensitive keywords, and those sort of simple mistakes that the computer doesn't understand unless you do it exactly right.
