Is this day over yet?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Well this has been a mostly aggravating and annoying day, anyone want to take bets on the rest of the week? By the way, how many times do you have to explain a Single-User license agreement to someone before they understand that it allows you to install two copies only if you’re the user of both machines? Installing it on your’s and your assistant’s PC’s does violate the Single-User part of the license agreement doesn’t it? And since we don’t allow software agreement violations around here, you can’t do it, and no I will not do it for you! No I don’t care how many “other” people probably do it anyway, I’m not responsible for their networks, I am responsible here, and you’re not!

I need a drink…

    But since our ISP did their “upgrade” last week, we’ve had a connection outage of anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour every day. Twice, so far, today! Somehow, I think maybe they missed on the “increased stability” they were going for, don’t you? Gee I’m in an awfully complaint-centered mood today, aren’t I?…

    After spending Moday and Tuesday nights brainstorming, putting together, and tweaking the Job Search 2003 Access database, I took last night off from the tech world. Not that I don’t still have a bunch of projects to work on, I just didn’t have the energy to deal with any of them last night. So I…

    I’ll have a more thorough essay on the meaning of St. Patrick’s Day and what not over at the other blog at some point later today. I’ve got a bunch of thoughts ruminating in my head about being Irish and what it means in today’s world. I’ve no time to get them down right now,…

    Last night I listened to the latest In the Trenches podcast. Kevin and his guest, Chuck Tomasi were discussing a number of issues that I feel strongly about, and have been reminded of recently in my own workplace. They were talking about the image you, as an IT person, project to the people you support…
