Gee, you'd think if you were renting a space and a mouse started pooping and chewing through the plastic bag you kept your organic massage oil in, you'd perhaps mention that rather than send me an email saying, "mouse poop in the basement."

It's a big enough basement, a little tiny hint would be a good thing.

Also you think you'd be bright enough not to leave the fucking lid off of your $64.95 a gallon bottle of food grade massage oil as it sits on the fucking floor.

Idiot.

To whoever felt that a 160GB partition was sufficient to hold ~4000 roaming profiles without ANY quotas on disk space, FUCK YOU.

The drive is constantly running low on disk space, today was the second day within the last week, and this causes the profiles to not load properly initiating a manual clean up it just awesome. In the meantime I get to listen to whining users, you are well within their rights to whine, maybe I should just forward those calls to your backdoor?

ETA: The fact that we have to reset many of these profiles after the fact is just icing on the cake. Low disk space not only prevents the profile from loading but actively corrupts it.

Backdoor NUMBER, not that backdoor. Though it is tempting. :bunnythrust:

For some reason, I'm not allowed to conclude my revisions to contracts with, "... because said terms would be rejected by a drunken lemur, let alone someone actually paying attention. We are pleased to conclude this matter with you. Fuck you and the horse you rode in on."

Pity. :sigh:

I went to the dentist today. That's not really the rant, since I don't mind the dentist much, but now I'm not supposed to eat for two hours and I'm hungry. That's the rant. "I'm hungry." Carry on.

Al Terego · #**958** 10-13-2009, 08:15 PM

I keep putting out fires and another one pops up. Oh, crap, there goes another one!

Adam · #**959** 10-14-2009, 06:03 PM

Something in or around my cube has smelled like gasoline for, like, the past week. At first I thought I had either splashed some gas on my pants while filling up or else was having a stroke, but it's only in my cube. WTF?

BrotherMan · #**960** 10-14-2009, 06:04 PM

I think your coworkers are trying to be nice with their foreshadowing.

Al Terego · #**961** 10-14-2009, 06:06 PM

They're showing their concern for your health by this oh-so-subtle hint to stop smoking.

Sock Puppet · #**962** 10-14-2009, 06:12 PM

To reduce our expenses without layoffs, the Company shall utilize the following avenues of workforce reduction:

Natural Attrition

First, you sent me a replacement machine that would not boot. Then, you sent me a machine with the wrong version of your software on it. After three days of investigation, you figured out that you no longer sell machines that will run the version we are on so, after a solid week, during which you insisted that, even though you could send me a new fucking server based only on my customer number, you'd need several additional pieces of information, including the MAC address from a NIC in a dead machine that I had already shipped back to you, in order to let me download the software I needed to upgrade our old machines to the new software version, I was finally done with you, or so I thought. Now, you did warn me that I'd have to email you for a new license key during the last step of the upgrade, but you sent me instructions, which seemed very simple, and I carried them out, and sent you the one piece of information those instructions claimed I'd need to send you. WHY THE FUCK DO YOU NOW NEED ME TO FILL OUT THIS "FORM" THAT'S ACTUALLY JUST A TEXT FILE THAT STILL HAS THE NAME, ADDRESS, ETC FROM THE LAST CUSTOMER YOU TORTURED IN IT, BEFORE YOU'LL JUST GIVE ME A LICENSE KEY?!?!?!?!!? AREN'T YOU, LIKE, A MAJOR INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, AND YOU'RE MAKING ME DO THIS MOM AND POP SHIT WITH TEXT FILES???

FUUUUUUUCKKKKKK!!!!!!!

...and after all that, the license keys you sent me for prod do not freaking work, so here I sit at twelve thirty in the freaking morning the day before my vacation starts waiting for your tech support clowns to call me back.

I am speechless. I am without speech.

So it's been in the 70s/80s all month.. and today it merrily dropped to 44. :brooding:

Dingfod · #**967** 10-18-2009, 03:57 AM

The first half of October averaged 20.5 degrees below normal in Oklahoma, a new record eclipsing the one set in 1931 by more than 5 degrees,.

biochemgirl · #**968** 10-20-2009, 01:45 AM

Gah, is it too much to ask that before you go to work you start a load of dishes or maybe do something I asked instead of playing Wii? Hello, I'm work 10-12 hour days here and I'm baking your baby, I'm fucking exhausted. Don't get frustrated with me for doing too much if you're not going to take it upon yourself to do it so I don't have to worry about it.

Ingrate bitch.

If you can't take the heat in a controversial discussion about a non-work topic, don't engage in it....especially with me. Because you don't happen to like my style of expression, or the content of my opinion, does not give you the the wherewithal to attempt to have me disciplined or fired on the basis of weak, invented stories about my work interactions with others. It's obvious you have no understanding of the ideals which underlie open access libraries and you shouldn't be employed in any of them, much less attempting to obtain an MLS. I'll make a point of passing that on.

Bitch.

Caligulette · #**971** 10-20-2009, 04:13 AM

Manga. Sick of it. Need noses. Hate the "stories" about kawaii this and that. Getting sick of pink hair entirely.

Ymir's blood · #**972** 10-20-2009, 04:15 AM

Kawaii 5-0!

Book 'em Cali!

sparks · #**973** 10-20-2009, 04:43 AM

To hell with the fucking fucking fucks. Had enough of the good-ol'-boyz and their goddamned fucking outrageous fucking bullshit. I've been doing this for thirty five fucking goddamned years and as a matter of fucking fact, I DO know fucking well better. Take your sorry leaking assholes back to your goddamned idiot investment partners and tell them you fucked up and that you need more money. Never, ever darken my fucking stoop again with your imaginary Merry Melodies about how you dreamed up a new way to do it. You can not change the laws of physics you pack of fucking idiots. Work smarter my fucking ass. Go pound working smarter you lousy pack of has been pricks. It's a new decade dickheads and all the bullshit platitudes from the 70's aren't gonna make it work for you. Go on home now and get a clue you fucking worthless piles of blowfish shit.

Manga, "if the Japanese draw their eyes like that they must think our eyes look like fried eggs." An old friend from the 1980s.

Stupid fucking head cold, day three of the crippling headache.

Caligulette · #**975** 10-20-2009, 05:37 AM

to Qingdai. I hope it goes away soon.

"You wouldn't want eyes that big - you'd get stuff in them!" My friend from the 1980's.
