Tired, cranky and ready to go home

Yeah it’s been that kind of day, it’s been that kind of week here in the office, as a matter of fact.

Hell, who am I kidding? It’s been that kind of YEAR!!!

I’ve spent most of this week correcting other people’s mistakes. Mistakes that mostly involve an inability to follow directions. This is the part of IT that they don’t tell you about in the certification schools, the part where you have to deal with people. People who don’t like computers, and don’t like you because you know more than they do about them. People who don’t take anything you say seriously, and therefore feel no need to follow your directions. They make it up as they go along, and then expect you to fix it when they screw it up.

And you will, because you care more about getting it right than you do about making other people look bad, even though they’ll sell you out in a heartbeat if you do something wrong.

Yeah I’m not real happy with the human race right now, can you tell? 🙂

    Discussion over at Lockergnome about Google’s ability to locate people when you type in their telephone number. If you read the comments it’s obvious that I think the whole thing is overblown, and things like this are being used by certain people to scare people about using the internet. What do you think? I’ll be…

  • Method to the ESBN Madness

    Some of you, obviously, noticed that little “ignore this” post last night. Here’s some of what I’m thinking on ESBN‘s. I think there may be a place where this can be useful. I’ve seen folks complain about the fact that their full-post RSS feeds are repurposed on sites that exist only to serve Google Ads….

  • Ohio…

    I saw on the news where they think the big blackout started somewhere near Cleveland. Now, as any good Ohio resident can tell you, Cleveland fully deserved it’s nickname (the mistake on the lake) long before this event occurred, but it somehow does seem fitting, doesn’t it? BTW, some of the reasons Cleveland is known…
