Error: Listening module not available

- Hey Herbert, I have to work on an urgent ticket, so I've been told you will be taking over the one I was working on. The issue is basically fixed, I just didn't have time to test it. You have to add these two lines to this file.
- Ok!

2 days later...

- This isn't working, is killing me!
* Spend 15 minutes helping him debug the issue *
- Where are the lines I asked you to add?
- Lines?
- The lines I sent you...did you add them?
- No
- Could you please add them?
* Adds them, tests again *
- I fixed it!
* facepalm *

Expect brain delays of up to 5 hours

9:00AM
- This query is really slow! Is killing me! How to fix it?
- The problem is it's doing a fulltext search. Make sure that the table is MyISAM and add a fulltext index.
- Ok got it!

* Herbert enters intense coding mode for a few hours *

2:00PM
- What if I added a fulltext index?
- *sigh* Yeah, that could work

2:30PM
- Should it be a MyISAM table?
*facepalm*
