I've looked over my dad's shoulder when he was using text-terminal based SAP (r2 I think) running on a main frame; It was hugely complicated (Press the F24 key aka ctrl-F12? Seriously?). I doubt it has evolved since then.
A friend of mine worked for SAP once; he quit because he couldn't stand bullshiting people all day.
I avoid that company like the plague.

Exchanged some of my trusty Euros today for British pounds for my trip to England next week. Gotta say you guys have a lot of different motives on your banknotes  |

Today I took a steel lined door to the face.
No really.
Goes a bit like this. After a bit of a run around chasing parts that aren't where they claim to be, resulting in 102 mile round trip for sod all. Attend a site of budget supermarket. Fix their scales by cleaning the crap out / off it. Re-seat the data cables. And all is good & groovy when you turn it back on, and the blank display is now working. Further more I now have less paper work to do, as I don't need to arrange for weights & measures to attend the site to stamp the scales. So off to the site's back office to fill in the various forms. Eventually get it all done and stapled together. Leave the office and I've now got one door to go, between the private and public sections of the site. It's got a spy hole. So I lean forward & down to look through the hole. Just as a member of staff is opening the door. as she's in a hurry to get on her break. As I said, it's a big steel door and I've just lent down and into it as it's opening to check if it was safe to open the door. WHAM! Glasses took a bit of a blow. So did my forehead and one of my teeth. You know it's serious when you don't swear.
The up shot is that both the manager and the lady were very apologetic. Thankfully she stopped finding it very funny very quickly, after she realized that it was not a funny moment in time. After a sit down, and even more bloody paper work, I found nothing broken or bleeding. I've straightened my glasses. And the weird taste of tin on one of my teeth eventually went away after a couple of hours.
All good fun.

I find myself stark naked except for a pair of latex gloves attempting to pull on a pair of red tights on in my parent's spare bedroom.

Ran some more network cables through the attic today, had to crawl through some very tight spaces. I HATE FIBERGLASS INSULATION. Even after a long shower I've still got a rash and feel itchy.

nope, now I'm scared as well as itchy :/ Ah, this is not so good. Working in theatre this week, done about 52 hours since Monday. Had to run some cabling through the understage cavity, which is used once or twice a year at most and hasn't been cleared out in the last half century. The amount of dust I had on me afterwards was quite incredible. |

Fibreglass shouldn't stick to your lungs (fibres > 3µm), so not much danger there. Yes you should have a filter mask to be very safe but strictly it's not necessary, most of it will biodegrade in < 40 days. The itch will go away too... Couple more showers an you'll be good. Never go into an understage cavity or double bottom not armed with a vacuum.  |

The understage cavity is approximately 7x7m in size. Vacuuming fifty years of dust out of that would take all week! |

Fibre glass is itchy.
I remember I ran a job removing a whole load from an office block in Knightsbridge. Itched the entire fortnight! Made a change from abestos and roof voids though. I once spent a week under a road. Going to work in the morning was really funny!
(edit: funny as in strange, not funny as in haha...I wasn't laughing manically as I climbed down into my hole in the road)
And those rolls look yummy, they'd keep me going under a road for a week...the smell of fresh bread.
