No me. I'm being roped into seeing "Angels and Demons" instead. I intend to just stay focused on popcorn with all that faux buttery goodness and huge soda instead of the shitheap that will be on the screen. Probably bring my iPod.

Drunk bitch walked from the bar to the dining room and puked in the middle of the floor in front of other guests. Then passed out in it.

For the love of whatever spiritual entity your believe in or lack thereof, please, please don't wait until I get the plate in front of you to tell me you didn't want the mushrooms or whatever that come with that.

*installer* "You can't run the SQL 2000 Upgrade Advisor until you install .Net Framework 2.0 package"

- "Ok, I'll do it." *installs .Net 2.0, reboots*

*installer* "You need to patch the .Net install."

"Yeah, yeah, I know." *Runs updates, reboots*

*installer* "So, um, there are these patches for the patches you just did..."

"FINE!" *Downloads the post patch patches, reboots*

*installer* "Ok, I'm done installing. Reboot me."

"Gee, never saw that coming." *reboots*

*SQL Upgrade Advisor crashes and won't run*

Every five years we have to recertify for teaching. We need 180 points to do it and you get points for doing improvement class type stuff along the way. Well, I got my certification and got a full time job 2 years later so I was a little behind. So I just took a college course to get the other 90 of my points that I needed.

Now I find out that I have to do this technology thing before next year for my recertification. How many points is it worth? 90!! So I just wasted all that time taking a damn course and I will have 90 extra fucking points. Thanks for not telling me, jerks.

I would be happy that I got to take a class. I'm constantly looking for excuses to take them.

So basically you started off tired and ended up pissed off? Does that about sum it up?

As for my, I love my job. But my current project really sucks out all of my energy. It's a web application for a group of universities. I studied at one of them, it was dreadful. The bureaucracy, the utter indifference, horrible, horrible internal communication, money wasting and on top of that poor education, I saw it all. My company reclaims part of the taxes we all waste on this shambles by winning contracts for big money for applications they 'need'. All good, except I have to actually build them. It has happened twice before and I'm currently working on number 3: an application that one bureaucrat decided they needed but won't actually be using himself. I wonder if any of them will. No one cares what I do, I have to design the thing, decide on what it needs to do, how it needs to do that and I get no feedback or testers whatsoever. In fact, meeting or not meeting deadlines doesn't make any difference whatsoever and since I've installed the first alpha-version (two months ago) no one has even bothered to login. I mean, just getting access to the server has cost me countless phone calls, e-mails and entire days of being harrassed by complete morons (their IT department), and ultimately more than a month. Even more when they decided to move the *$@$#@*$ server without informing me and I had to do all this crap of getting access and the right settings etc all over again. How's that for a start of a new project?

I have always hated school and it still haunts me to this day. Anyway, it is nearing the end now. I get no satisfaction from wasting my time, it is hurting my productivity. That's my rant, thank you very much.

- "Hey, Xolik, we're going to migrate a website to a new server. Should take about 10-15 minutes tops."

- "Ok, thanks for the heads up."

*Three hours pass*

- "So, uh, we're not quite done yet and by the way do you know how to move a certificate from one server to another because.....yeah...."

- "...."

Not really bitching, but I just got a job interview at Future Shop, woot! I guess bullshitting really can get you far in life. Wish me luck I'm quite broke atm.

Good luck, dear! Being employed almost always beats the alternative.
