Same shit, different day!

Well, more system shenanigans have caused little gray hairs to sprout on my frazzled head.



Lo and behold, we've got server problems at work not because of our database madness, but it's because this place is too cheap to pay for Microsoft Exchange as a single operations system. We use Lotus and OutLook for email. One bounces back from the other and this is somehow viewed as "progress." HA! It's chopping off your nose to spite your face. But, as we know, split level condos are so much nicer than putting solid time and investment into your employees. If they don't like it? They can leave, which is what so many of us are doing.



I've applied to 3 jobs this week, and will be tweaking my cover letter this weekend. I'm trying my damnedest to get out of here by spring, but I'm looking before I'm leaping. No shitty offers for me. It's solid quality or nothing. Keeping my mouth shut and gritting my teeth when assholes accost me is not one of my strong suits.



Christ, I don't even have time to blog like I used to! Dexter's too fascinated with the birds across the yard, so he doesn't have time to fill in for me. I'll have to bribe him with yarn or something.



More narcissists abound in this place. Nandy, one of my faves, is now lecturing me on how to do a job that he didn't even create. He might have helped "create" this system, but the system is dated 1992. That's certainly not new, and it certainly not workable outside these doors. I laugh when I think how many children run this place. Non-reality is just so much fun when you're in denial. This entire company is stuck in 1990. A bit late, I'd say.



Still, stiff upper lip for me. I'm trying! Ain't giving up until I absolutely positively have to.
