How not to start off a long weekend

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Well I just discovered that my ICQ account has been hacked and I can no longer access it. So for the time being, ignore the ICQ information, and don’t try to contact me there.

On top of that, my return to work on Weds. is going to be met by yet another replacement hard drive to swap out. Given the location of the three offices that this has happened to, and the relative humidity of that area of the building, I’m working on getting our building management people to seriously do something about that. I was sweating just sitting in that office today. I don’t sweat in my office, even with the heat being generated by the server.

We’re off right after work today and while I had hoped to be doing some blogging over the next 4 days, the internet connection situation is up in the air once we reach Gatlinburg. So if I don’t have a net connection, I’ll fill you all in on Weds. or so.

In the meantime, you’re welcome to use the comments and the fourms to continue your discussions!

    My wife, after reading that last post, came to me last night and said “That was a little too Andy Rooney for my tastes, what happened to my husband?”. Ouch! OK, I admit it, I’ve been taking life a little too fucking seriously. Time to crank up a Too Much Joy CD and remember that…

    Thanks to a tip from Sikko2Go (an interesting monicker, to be sure.), I was able to get the comments emailed again. For those of you keeping score at home the relevant changes are: Change “CDONTS.NewEmail” to “CDO.MESSAGE” Change “mail.Body=MailBody” to “mail.htmlBody=MailBody” Take out the next line “mail.importance=1”. – I’m not sure if there’s something you…

    My original prediction, of course, was a month and 4 meetings. The President got the memo yesterday, had a short meeting with my boss, and sent me 4 different emails with questions and suggestions for possible changes. My boss is now trying to schedule a meeting for us to discuss options with 3-4 other people,…

  • The Hiring Process is Broken

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 5 minutes

    Yeah I know, not exactly a shocking observation. We’ve all been through horrific interviewing processes, and even the Wall Street Journal is writing about people who got into a job only to realize it wasn’t what they were promised. Clearly, we have a problem. The question is, why? There are multiple answers to that question,…
