Sorry 'bout that on my end... I've ended up barely being at my desk for longer than about 5 minutes at a time

and it's still going on... GAH :mad

 

[Darrell]

Still having fun in Reno!

 

[retro]

I think I'm finally done. yay!

 

[retro]

aaaand I'm done... at least until Monday. I'm sure there'll be something wrong, there always is. But as soon as it's fixed, I'm leaving and not going back for two freaking days.

 

[Darrell]

Nice! :thumbup

Oh yeah, and I had the crap scared out of me while I was there too... it's like 1am, and I hear banging on our front door. I'm like holy fuck, what's going on. So I walk out there... it's the security guard for our group of buildings, wanting to make sure that someone wasn't dead in there. He evidently saw my car in front last night as well, and I parked pretty much the exact same way tonight. But holy hell, I was shaking for a good 5-10 minutes afterwards. :24:

 

[retro]

hmm, bed time I suppose

That's an attentive guard lol.

Seriously Microsoft? Fuck you. Brilliant how even when I change the default install directory of one of your applications, you don't change the default data store directory to match.

So I got into work this morning to discover that my e-mail server wasn't working because it had no disk space because it was trying to store GBs of data on my OS install drive... so it just stopped working. Then it took a good 45 minutes to get that data transferred to the other drive.

Thank God my boss was getting a cap on a tooth this morning...

Nearly 3am, I'm wide freaking awake because my body got used to two nights in a row of going to bed after 4am somehow. I couldn't fall asleep until after 5am last night/this morning. I'm bloody freaking exhausted right now, but I couldn't fall asleep for an hour of trying. I don't want to take any Seroquel because God knows I'm not going to be with it in the morning if I do. It was actually originally my plan for tonight, but now my boss made a big motherfucking deal about me taking tomorrow (today) off because we have our motherfucking stupid ass fucking idiotic fucking meeting on Tuesdays. Apparently me trying to take a day and a half (12 hours) off consecutively was too much of a Goddamn inconvenience for him... despite the fact that I wasn't even planning on taking the WHOLE OTHER FUCKING DAY that I worked off. Well fuck that. I'm working tomorrow morning through the fucking meeting, and then I'll take Wednesday off, and then I'm leaving early on Friday.

I was thinking about awesome ways that I could quit if I were to win the lottery. Some of the more clever and/or disturbing ones were:

Taking a shit on his desk next to my resignation letter.

Calli him at 3am to tell him he needs to get to the office immediately because of some made-up emergency. Then leave my resignation taped to the door for him to find when he got there.

Come to work at almost noon, don't say a word to anyone, copy all of my stuff that I need from my computer, backup all of my own documentation for the office, delete it off of the network, and then zero my hard drive so they're stuck worse off than I was when I started. Then put all of my stuff in a box and just walk out the door without saying a word.

Come in at night, login to his computer, grab all of our reviews, pay raise records, etc... print them out, and leave them on everyone's desks. Along with the "special" document of complaints that he has written up about all of us.

Oh man, there are just so many I've come up with that I'd probably end up having to do some combination of them in order to do it justice. :24:

I'm a big fan of shitting on his desk.

I also have an idea, wipe your ass with your resignation letter and throw it at him.

Next time you can't sleep, try Melatonin. It's natural, and really works.

I really don't want to go to this stupid meeting in 15 minutes. I know exactly what it's going to be... I'm not going to get any congratulations or nice work or anything for spending the last few months prepping for an migrating us to the new Exchange Server for e-mail and Domain. I'll just be told to immediately start working on the next project that my boss sees as the top priority... because his priorities are generally way different than mine, and mine don't matter in the case of a conflict. Here are the ones that I have on my list

1) Migrate a 15 year old DOS-based software from similarly aged Windows 98 computers to 5 year old Windows XP computers. I was close to a solution on this, but I put it aside to focus solely on my e-mail/domain migration.

2) Implement a new web/FTP server... the only problem is that the FTP server software has to be capable of moving files from folders to another specific folder in order for customer data to be immediately imported into our production system, processed, and then have updated files put back in their individual folders.

3) Install three new computers for users. No biggie, the time consuming part is migrating their data.

I have more, but it's meeting time -.-

My newest television obsession is Iron Chef America... the only problem is that it makes me fucking hungry to watch.
