More tests, colour me something or other

Right, results, such as they are... ramble ramble, waffle waffle, blah blah blah...
Your Existing Situation
Needs peace and quiet. Desires a close and faithful partner from whom to demand special consideration and unquestioning affection. If these requirements are not met, is liable to turn away and withdraw altogether.
Your Stress Sources
Unfulfilled hopes have led to uncertainty and apprehension. Needs to feel secure and to avoid any further disappointment, and fears being passed over or losing standings and prestige. Doubts that things will be any better in the future and this negative attitude leads him to make exaggerated demands and to refuse to make reasonable compromises.
Your Restrained Characteristics
Has high emotional demands and is willing to involve himself in a close relationship, but not with any great depth of feeling.
Trying to calm down and unwind after a period of over-agitation which has left him listless and devoid of energy. In need of peace and quiet; becomes irritable if this is denied him.
Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense. Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity but tends to hold aloof emotionally.
Your Desired Objective
Wants to prove to himself and others that nothing can affect him, that he is superior to any form of weakness. As a result, he acts with harshness or severity and adopts an autocratic and self-willed attitude.
Your Actual Problem
Disappointment and the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to anxiety. Desires recognition and position, but is worried about his prospects. Reacts to this by protecting at any criticism and resisting any attempt to influence him. Tries to assert himself by meticulous control of detail in an effort to strengthen his position.

Some of this is uncannily accurate, some of it is total tosh, then again if you apply enough vagueness to any situation you can encompass most people somehow... hmmm, which gives me an idea...

Horoscopes...
Sep. 5th, 2001 09:09 amThrough careful consideration of the astrological signs (I looked at the moon last night) investigation of factors effecting the planets (I played warheads) and digestion of vital factors of life (I ate bran flakes this morning) I present your horoscope for the next year...

Disclaimer
These have all been made up in approximately 5 seconds each, I don't believe in horoscopes as I in no way believe that a large ball of fusion generating gas several thousand light years away can have any effect whatsoever on my social life. And as such this is intended to be a somewhat cynical parady to highlight the fact that simple statements produced by most horoscopes can be applied to virtually anyones life with enough vagueness therein. That said you control your life, you make your choices. I accept no responsibility for anyone, anything or anywhere damaged, mutilated, confused, poked, prodded, sued, struck by lightning, turned in pop-tarts, roasted, basted in olive-oil, sliced in two, sent to mongolia, employed by micro$oft, rejected from college, impersonating a chicken, given stomach ache, and/or anything else ever as a result of my advice, my influence, my mind-control lasers, my actions, words or deeds. So there.

Sometimes I hate my job;
I've just spent the last 4 hours trawling through some of the worse documentation (microsoft is ~heaven~ compared to this) using an abysmal inline editor that doesn't even give line numbers, remember your code or allow basic editing facilities (they even tell you to use another editor) in order to... (drum roll here) search for a single occurance of a text string in a field of a module. Now in any RDMS this would be a piece of cake, I've written gawd knows how much script based pieces of code for several other DB systems and I thought those were bad, this is hell.
What makes it worse is we're using a requirements capture tool to try and implement effectively a database system solution, it's madness, this added to the fact that the inline (so called) help is virtually useless - when it's correct - and my boss is adament we use this pile o' pooh to do the solution, 'cos we're already forked out around 20k for this stupid software.
Anyone got any vacancies for a software engineer?
