It’s Halloween today. My favorite “holiday”. Wanted to put on the very good looking fangs I bought couple of years ago. Didn’t feel like doing it. I was in very bad mood yesterday. Still am!

Here’s a free advice, if you see something, like it, seems like a good deal and can afford it, BUY IT ASAP! It won’t be there for long! Trust me, sometimes too much thinking can be bad. This is one of those times. I’m an impulse buyer most of the times. But research a LOT before buying electronics.

How Vain Am I?
From rateyourself.com
You Are Evenly Balanced and Attractive
You spend a reasonable amount of time attending to your appearance. You can take time out to look good without panicking about it. Making yourself look good makes you feel pampered and boosts your self-esteem. However, you can still feel good about yourself with or without the primping. You don’t feel competitive about your appearance, which makes you ultimately all the more comfortable with yourself and that much more attractive from the inside out. Way to go!

No, IT wasn’t the first dept. to know about who is getting fired. It’s usually the opposite. Someone will quit/get fired and we won’t know until the last minute or when it’s too late, the damage to data and network is done.

5 people were laid off today at work. At least 1 or 2 had it coming. Doesn it look bad for the company? Maybe. Does it matter to me? Not really. Web services are projected to pickup next year. Especially .NET from Microsoft will kick some ass into it. If bad things do happen, I’m planning on going down with the ship.

6:00am is a bad time to call me. Someone from work told me he called at that time. He also called my boss at 3:00am! I rarely pickup phone, always screen and even if I picked up at 6:00am, I wouldn’t be able to help ’cause it takes me approx 1-2hrs to become functional after sleep. Sorry.

October 22, 2002
For some weird ass reason I get the vibe that one person in upper management seems to think I’m not doing my job well enough. I’ve had nothing but trouble with this person since day one. I’m not superstitious but since nothing I do works for this person, I must admit he/she is cursed! This person thinks I get sick pleasure by giving company users crappy computers. Think about it, if the user has bad machine, I have to fix it and listen to all the whining. Doesn’t it make more sense to give the user better machine in the first place so that I can do less? I don’t gain anything by giving them bad machine! For some reason people think IT dept. has the best machine. NOT the case here! I use the same Dell Optiplex as my users! There’s a lockdown on budget, we are not allowed to buy any new replacement PC. My hands are tied. I can only do so much with a 400MHz PC! And users don’t make it easier. They will usually load crap and screw up their when they get a chance. I had one user who loaded his kid’s games on the laptop. Just because you have a Mac doesn’t mean you have the right to screw up PCs! This is why system admins take away your right to install anything and sometimes even see the C or A drive. When I get chance next time I will get the most bad ass machine I can! Most people are not born bad; they are turned into one by the cruel society. What’s the worst thing they can do? I can’t quite ’cause I need the money but getting fired will make things easy for me. I will finally be able to take the long deserved time off and won’t feel bad about quitting. It will be their loss ’cause people like me are rare and not everyone will do all the non IT stuff I do here. 
It may seem like I’m not doing anything but you have no idea what goes on behind the scene to keep things running. It’s like citizens of the a country who has no clue how many nuclear attacks were stopped by the secret service before they ever saw any sign of it. I make it look too damn easy!

One of the laptop user had 2.5 years worth of deleted mails in the Outlook Deleted Items Folder. Total number of email was 21000+ and with offline mail option this person had less than 1Gig free on the hard drive. WHY? WHY? No wonder system admins force mailbox size on their users. Can’t blame them. No one likes to take a blame for other people’s ignorance!

My horroscope for tomorrow. Fits me perfect. I’m an Aries according to birthdate.
“It’s almost too easy to impress new people. You’re a powerful individual in so many ways: You’re smart, funny and you don’t talk down to anyone no matter how tall you stand. If there are any questions about whether you’re the best in your field, you answer them quickly and decisively. One simple demonstration is all it takes. You might not even wait for anyone to ask what needs to be done. If something has to happen, you’ll make it happen. You’re not afraid to take what you so obviously deserve.”

Today I realized that I’ve been listening to digital music (mp3. wma) since 1997-98 and rarely use the playlist feature in my player Musicmatch and Ultraplayer. I usually drop songs in the player and do shuffle or let them play in normal order. Keeps things interesting for me.

Ignorant Dumbass People! The Company I work for sent FTP address to this lady to download 2 files. They can’t seem to do that. We then sent them HTTP link where no password is needed. Can’t do either. We tried to help as much we could. Nothing! On top of that we found the quote below during email exchange…
“Okay, this is just an example of what I have to deal with….This is the group that sent the zip files last week, he set up his “OWN” FTP, how do you like that? Let me know if we can’t access it and I will ask him again, and hopefully he will do as he is told…..”
Finally we were told to upload to their FTP. They could have told that in the first place! Dumbass people who don’t deserve to live in my opinion! I’m getting sick of dealing with these type of people. Slowly migrating out of the IT business. Although don’t know how far out I can go. This is something I do better than anything else. It’s my superpower. It’s my blessing and my curse!

Every platform has it’s dumb users. In fact it is my belief that the intelligent user is a mythical beast that ranks right up there with the Lock Ness Monster, Bigfoot, and the Yeti.
I’ve seen dumb user on Unix, DOS, Windows, and Macs. Doesn’t matter they are everywhere.
Personal I think that George A. Romero’s vision was very accurate. Just that people aren’t actually dead, just dumb. – z-man from Tech-report.com
