Day: August 9, 2001

The IS guy still isn’t here. I can’t get ahold of him via phone or email. It’s time to pull the next step in any corporate environment.

I’m gonna have my boss call his boss. That’ll light a fire under his rear.

(Man, at least he could have the decency to send an email to tell my why he hasn’t shown up all day)

So it’s 3:30, and the IS Guy isn’t here yet. He’s not answering his phone or responding to email, but I know he’s here today because he dropped of the machine this morning before I got here.

I’m afraid to leave my desk for the shortest amount of time, because I know he’ll show up when I’m gone.

I really have to go the bathroom.

So I’m supposed to get my FreeBSD machine at work upgraded, but there seems to be some sort of disconnect between the IS guy and me. So here I am, spending almost half my day so far with my old machine off, waiting for him to show up and plug in the other computer that’s just sitting in my cube.

It’s about now that I realize how much I hated my job when I didn’t have the UNIX machine on my desk. It’s very difficult to do my job with only Windows NT to help me. Especially when I’m in the middle of doing mundane tasks and I click on a link in IE, and the entire OS crashes. Blue Screen of Death. Yay Microsoft.

Die Die Die Die Die.
