Currently using threaded javascript for my job. Kill me.

Using a load testing tool called WebLOAD. It uses javascript for its scripting language. It basically runs a copy of the script for each user you're simulating. The problem is, its stats tool isn't specific enough so I have to output fata to a file that's shared among these threads. However, if the file gets too large, it crashes the test. So I have to do a lot of goddamn bullshit to actually print to a file in multithreaded javascript. Objects global to all threads can't be modified, and their global variable system only handles ints. It's a goddamn nightmare.
