Broken Doll

I hate hardware failures.

I hate being the de facto IT person at work simply because I know how to write HTML and they don’t. Seriously, people, I know not a damn thing about mailservers.

I hate hate HATE stupid help desk people. Even more I hate stupid help desk people who realize they don’t have the answers I need and still refuse to let me speak to Second Tier. And do so by claiming that they don’t support and haven’t implemented something I have not asked them to support or implement. Here’s a clue: dude, forget what I said about SPF records, I told you several times that the SPF record has nothing to do with you. What I need is information about your MAILSERVERS (you do support your own damn mailservers, don’t you?) so I can take care of the god damned SPF records.

Oh, and fuck Micro$oft for deciding to give a whole 48 hours notice on the SenderID implementation in Hotmail. It didn’t occur to you that your handy-dandy SPF tool just might be overwhelmed by requests when people try to get in under the wire to make sure their email doesn’t get flagged as spam?

I hate bosses who want the expensive data backup solution but don’t want to pay for it, and consequently don’t do anything at all about the problem.

I hate losing nearly a whole day because of putting out fires like this.

At least my hard drive is still okay.

grrrrr.
