The Complaining and Bitching Thread

I've signed up for overtime four weeks straight, with no results. I filled in the sheet this week out of habit, without really thinking about it.


So, OF COURSE the night we actually have something fun planned, they approve all overtime. Damn it.

 

Folks that know nothing about networking; but want to argue networking with me drive me crazy.

I don't write code or RFCs, complaining to me that it ought to do something that it cannot is pointless.

 

My father, rest his soul, at the age of 82 bought the windows systems administrator's handbook and tried to learn everything he could about administering a windows computer. I'm sure he did this so he wouldn't have to ask me for help all the time, although I didn't mind. But he would insist that "it ought to be this way!" Well, it isn't that way. I agree, the behavior is stupid and counter-intuitive, but that's the behavior. Call Bill Gates if you don't like it.

My favorite episode was when mom called, "Your dad needs some help," which she followed with a deep and profound sigh.

"What's up, mom?"

"Your dad's computer won't start up. Can you come over?"

"Sure, mom. I'll be there after work."

So I pop by and ask dad what happened. He said "I don't know. I was cleaning up my hard disk because it was filling up."

Dad had like a 20 gig hard drive and his definition of filling up was that there was more than about 5 gig in use.

"OK, dad. What were you doing to clean up your hard drive?"

"Just deleting some files."

"What files?"

"I don't know. They were those dll things. They were taking up too much space. Why should I need those dll things...?"

"All of them?"

"Yes, all of them. Did I need those?"

 

Resentment is setting in....

Brexit: proof that a British accent does not mean that you are smart.

 

Can't apply stain to the deck due to the rainy weather.

 

I've seen it other places as well so you can count the information as true.
They have the original ending on the DVD where Will Smith realizes that the mutants aren't monsters and comes to grips with it.
All I can say is that movies should never be cut based on the reaction of test audiences.

 

My brain is on overload.
I'm almost completely at my limit. My attention span and anxiety are dueling. I need a nap, but I'm going to run later.

 

Turns out that the cpu fan was making a racket and touching the bottom hard drive. Instead of $600 in hard drives, I got away with a $5 fan (with $10 shipping).

 

I caught a cold. Oddly when I get sick it's always after the GS visits the drop in day care
