fuck you, job

bye dan!

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

see what happens when you post walloginas 5 times in a row?

this may drive me to monster.com faster than anything else

microscopic wallogina for ilx favicon NOW

i refuse to acknowledge the sovereignty of your workplace

xpost YES YES YES

lol you counted the walloginas

t-10 minutes

the wallogina giveth
the wallogina taketh away

OH HELL! PEACE!

if this site isn't actually blocked I will be very, very embarrassed, probably

alas, poor walloginas, i knew him well

my only regret is not scoring this username

NEVER FORGET JUNE 4 2008 10:00 PM IN WHATEVER TIME ZONE I HAVE ILX SET TO

fuck i could use the hammer coming down on me tbh

ILX should be authorized, as everyone needs a safe space to vent/be insane during the work day.

New ILX motto^^^^^^

gff I didn't know you were an objectum sexual

I am procastinating on sending an email to ppl in the UK by lamenting the fact that my main procastination method is being taken away

is that even the right latin?

for what i am?

does it matter?

Just in case, much <3 to you!

what the fuck time zone do you have it set to jj, that must be kzyrghstan or something cuz im on default & its not 10 yet

t-5

we've had some laughs, haven't we?

MANY LAUGHS

some

remember the time I made that dick joke? ;_;

gff fucks hammers

now I will be constrained to posting on weekends and after 8:00 on nights wehn I'm at home, boo

unless of course they don't block the site, in which case lol tool

A. is so frustrated because two of the people on his team have left and he has a ton of work, but it's not programming; it's some other kind of computer bullshit. Plus, it's here not there. I'm just sayin, though!

bye dan

Also, you work too late at night, obv.

obv, but I rarely have to wake up before 7:45.

what the fuck time zone do you have it set to jj, that must be kzyrghstan or something cuz im on default & its not 10 yet

I SEE THROUGH YOUR LIES

Okay, then it's not so bad.

this is kind of exciting! will I get blocked or no?

it's 2200 GMT right now

in my office, anyway

u will be much missed, you have been one my favorite posters lately & i doubt anyone can say anything more significant here

how the fuck do they define 'unauthorized sites' btw? like maybe theyve been allowing porn all this time & have decided shd change

Will it happen right away or will it take a while?

(Will it hurt?)

T-1 MINUTE

0200 Iraq time, 0600 in Beijing

I... my god... it's full of stars...

make your last post a good one dan

Well, you know I adore and idolize you, Dan, and always have. So there!

bye dan!!!!!

WENT OUT IN A BLAZE OF VAGINA

byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee dan! it's been nice knowing you! i will miss your dick jokes!

wall of vag is teh greatest thing ever

Sometimes I do question my own judgment xpost

the one in the bottom left corner looks like it's screaming

so really the only way to know if he is really gone would be to just keep slandering him as much as possible and force him to respond

i bet that's the closest he ever got to real vag!

WENT OUT IN A BLAZE OF VAGINA

Thank god for grammar and punctuation geeks.

Haha wait, I can post from my phone

-- HI DERE, Wednesday, June 4, 2008 10:14 PM (15 minutes ago)

sorry guys, this was me, i didn't want to get everyones hopes up needlessly, so i figured id fess up.

You is bastard.

we are all made of stars

the poop request is 100% legit though, from what I can tell

I guess while we're sending our fallen comrade poop, I should remind people that i'd love buckets full of centipedes that I can dump down my pants.

John, your dedication to equity is truly admirable.

Also, I'm going to go wash my brain out with bleach now.

ITS LIKE THE TWILIGHT ZONE IN HYAR

DOODEEDOODOO

THE DISTURBING THING ABOUT THIS IS THAT I AM STILL IN NYC ISOLATED FROM ALL FORMS OF COMMUNICATION O_O

OK so thaaaaaaat's what Rabelais was banging (on about).

OH NOES Dan!

Oh my gosh JJ is this like 1408? Are you hearing 'We've Only Just Begun' at random times?

Turn back clock on computer to 2001 and all will be well.

No, I think that will not prevent you from hearing The Carpenters at all.

iphone comes out next week! BUY

okay they have blocked:

ILX
gmail
sluggy freelance
facebook

they have not blocked:

ESPN
rolandgarros.com
linkspank

not bothering to try:

myspace
youtube

ugh

call in dead

lol did they block ilx based on like hey look theres a shitload of traffic going to this weird plain text message board

apparently ilx is a dating site?????

lol @ the idea of people that use the internet going on dates. u crazy dan's place of work.

apparently ilx is a dating site?????

-- HI DERE, Thursday, June 5, 2008 4:04 PM (24 minutes ago)

gross

OH NO WAIT I MEAN AAAUAUUUAAUAAUUUUGGGGGHGHHHHHHHHHHH!

going to be a schizophrenic few weeks until i get this whole username thing worked out

You are who you are.

In the 'thank you, job' category, though, I has new monitor. And very nice it is.

apparently ilx is a dating site

Nice try Dan. All trying to seduce ILX and stuff.

Smoove D.

Wow, I think they really have the wrong idea about ILX

really what website can resist the lure of wallogina

LOL my phone now recognizes "wallogina" as a word

Pronounced like "Wachovia"

Btw can someone post "ilm started sucking in 2002 when the board decided en masse that showing off your writing skills was more important than knowing anything about music, plus all of the funny people went to ile" for me? Bonus points if you add "plus encouraging people who are adamantly opposed to knowing anything about music to pursue careers in music crit is just stupid and guaranteed to ensure the perez hiltons of the world control of our media"

where should this be posted

i was thinking the same thing.

maybe
ILM is kinda sucking these days (boring and meta ignore not safe for work)

lol, apparently my job doesn't know about FIREFOX

Modern technology ftw!

You know, I bet they also don't know about Camino then. (I think that's a Firefox product or something, but every person I've mentioned that web browser to looks at me like I'm making it up entirely.)

my boss quit and was escorted out of the building

apparently the rumor on my floor is that he recommended that I get his job

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

escorted out of the building? did he quit with drama?

uh oh...

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

"you had to ruin it for all concerned"

if it is a law firm i think that is s.o.p.

i have quit with mad drama before. it was awesome and so gratifying!

i would like my job to go to hi dere

gtfo

no

ok we force you to gtfo

Dan's place of employment sounds so drama-filled and interesting.

thinking about firing myself for a few hours later today

He had no drama at all! In fact, he volunteered to spend the next two weeks doing a massive brain-dump on the missing requirements that would take us to the next level. Instead, he was told he had access to too much sensitive info given that he was going to a competitor, so he was asked to leave immediately.

If they give me his job I am going to shit (in a bad way).

Unless they double my salary, in which case it will still suck but at least I'll be able to afford a new house.

There's a bright side to every dark side. Or at least there should be. (You could decline the offer, though, right?)

xpost John, you just know you'll end up taking yourself back in the end.

i'm fixing to escort myself out of the building, because my brain is too sensitive to stay here for another minute.

ugh ppl keep coming into my office and saying "congrats on the promotion!" and then pointing and laughing

lol congratulations dan

Look on the bright side: maybe Obama will draft you as his vice-presidential pick and you will have the last laugh.

"Congratulations! It's a ship of shit, but it's yours! hahahahahahahah"

fuck you

So did you get the job then or not? ENQUIRING MINDS, ETC. ETC.

not officially; however, the boss of my old boss called me to "chat about the prevailing attitude of the office". There's a follow-up chat on Monday.

argh

Hmmmm, so, you could be, like, elected against your will be the "prevailing attitude of the office?" That is just bizarre.

if I understand what you were trying to say, yes that is very bizarre

no, I have no idea which direction you were going there, sorry ;_;

Just trying to figure out if you have no choice in taking the job (assuming that they want you to take it)? Because it kind of sounds like people in your office are all, "yeah, make DAN do it, he'll be good at it... and then WE don't have to!"

^^^ Actually, now I'm thinking of that commercial about Life cereal. "Make Mikey Dan try it; he hates everything will be good at this job that none of us want!"

Damn, that should be Mikey

Defeated by BBcode again. ;_;

I like that, though.

Yeah, I'm not sure it's an improvement on "deX," but I'm willing to use it if only to confuse and baffle your wife.

I will have to practice ways to get "Mikey" to sound italicized, but I feel sure I can work something out.

Basically my boss said I was the man to contact as he was escorted out the door and everyone else my department is taking one giant step backwards.

ugh fuck

worst part is likely there will be no pay raise

Well, that's flattering, except that the bottom like is that is sucks.

oh man I hate it when it like ugh fuck
friday evening ugh fucks are the WORST

okay why am I still here

See, that's why they want to make you the BIG BOSS!

More seriously, Dan and Tom - hang in there, cuz you are both awesome.

You guys did both get out of there I hope.

Dan, your fate troubles me. Escape.

back at work today

OH FUCK WHY AM I HERE SO HUNG OVER/DRUNK

AT LEAST YOU HAD FUN LAST NIGHT, I WAS HERE

oh boy this is bad

i maght die. or be sick. or both. fuck.

At least you have the option of going home and still retaining your job.

i should probably lie down for a little bit

OW

the sympathy is not to flow like a babbling Quebecois brook

yeah, continues to be no good. might still be a little drunk o_O

AND have to go to another show tonight right after work. perhaps i can sleep in the 1st avenue bathroom.

^Many have.

Brave souls, surely. I have always avoided entering those bathrooms out of PHEAR.

the idea of sleeping in a first avenue bathroom is making me want to bathe in lysol

Dan, you're at work again today?! That sucks.

John, water, Advil, stay away from Dan because I'm afraid he'll punch you, etc. etc.

xp Exactly! When I was there in 2006, I didn't enter the bathroom, but I did think, "hmmmm, I wonder if they've cleaned this place since 1992..."

(still had fun, though)

gahhhhhhhhhh

Yeah, well, that's what you get for not taking the Advil.

the main architect announced he was resigning today, grrrr

You do know that in a few weeks you're going to be the only employee still there, don't you?

Upside: thing of the POWER you will have!!!!

Yes, I do know this.

I am thinking of asking for an hour or two of lateness
I'm not quite yet in any condition to be employed gainfully

hahahaha um they formally asked me to be TECHNICAL DIRECTOR (ie in charge)

I am totes saying yes btw

why because it look $$$$$$$$$$$

so you will be hiring? pls to give me one job? lol i a not techy at all!!!

Well, congratulations! I think.

Also, could I come be your secretary or something? Also not techy, but kind of short of money due to taking out loans and more loans. I suppose the commute to Boston is prohibitive. ;_;

^^^this

also loans. ugh. so ugh. as;lkgdj.

lol hiring

Basically, not unless we pull of some miracle. Which we might; who knows?

lol hiring is not that fun. A. was reading through resumes last night and he was commenting on how desperate people seemed (since not one of the 17 applicants had relevant experience... but some had fantastic other experience - I mean, I think it's a one year internship they are offering.)

Basically, looking for a job is depressing right now. (SHOCKING REVELATION THERE, I KNOW)

GO DANG
GO DANG
I SAID GO DANG
I SAID GO

...dang
.. perry ladies and gentlemen

yeah my dad has been trying to hire someone for at least a year, but his co. is not willing to pay the salary for the level of person they need... someone working in a firm rather than as in-house counsel could make way more $$$. every time he thinks they may have found a good candidate, they turn the job down because $wang.

damn it. because of the

Because of the Dan.

I'm supposed to be headed to the airport now.

Instead I am cancelling a hotel reservation, pushing back my flight, and preparing to stay up all night to respond to a potential client issue in the UK.

srsly fuck this

Well THAT SUCKS

(worst understatement ever?)

Is this your VEGAS VEGAS VEGAS trip that is being delayed?

Of course it is.

EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL!!!!

(not the trip; the situation)

yes job, you will be paying the $700 involved in paying for the hotel room I can't cancel, the change fee for the flights and the difference in airfare

you fucking fucks

Well I should hope so! Jeez.

why was I given 6 hours of work to do before tomorrow just now

Face it: your job hates you.

Oh come on it's not like you were doing anything productive for those 6 hours anyways.

what, like going home?

Sleeping, whatevs. It's not like you are doing anything but dreaming during those 8 hours.

You can sleep when you're dead.

so fucking tired

I've been here for... 16.5 hours now.

Dude, go home and get some sleep.

Or sleep under your desk.

What can they do to you? Make you work more?!

I mean seriously, you do need sleep. No one really believes that "Dan is secretly a robot" business.

I'm starting to believe I am secretly a big fucking chump.

HI DERE, obviously you know what you are doing, but have you considered getting a new job? I know, $$$, but it sounds like it sucks stinky balls.

Maybe he'll quit when they bring out the cattle prod.

We can but hope.

resume: updated
just need to put it out there

DO IT BEFORE THE CATTLE PROD COMES OUT I BEG YOU

That is so fucked up Dan.

I told my boss i'll be leaving and he just gave me a sweet reference ^_^

I will be quitting v soon ^_^

Actually the only people I know who work crazy shit hours like that are people who work for the big management consulting companies (accenture etc)

(um since when is it fucked up that people who earn $$$ are expected to work long hours?)

HI DERE, obviously you know what you are doing, but have you considered getting a new job? I know, $$$, but it sounds like it sucks stinky balls.

Re: Disciplinary Hearing

Dear Nick
As promised we would like to arrange a follow up meeting later today.

You are entitled, if you wish, to be accompanied by another work colleague.

Regards
A******

I should contexualise - I didn't show up to work on Monday due to my lift back from Glastonbury on Sunday falling through. I had enough phone charge to send a text and that was it, so I did, informing them that I would not likely be able to make it in. Not good enough apparently.

Arrived on Tuedsay to an email summoning me to attend a disciplinary meeting. They were pissed that I didn't call or make an effort to come in. WHich is fair and I expressed regret and apologies rah rah rah.

So who knows what's gonna happen this afternoon. I'm hoping it's just a warning so I have the opportunity to jump before I'm pushed but who the fuck knows?

x-post so sad, i think you'll be OK HI DERE!! Hang in there friend!!1 cross your fingers, i am!

(um since when is it fucked up that people who earn $$$ are expected to work long hours?)

It's fucked up when they bait-and-switch you on the job title and the $$$ but still triple the amount of work you have to do.

Yeah, that sounds fucked up.

Nick - good luck! That sucks.

Dan... good grief. (And here is where I would make my usual pathetic "please come home, we miss you, and bring that awesome wife of yours, too" bid.)

Sacked. Sucks.

yeesh, sorry to hear that

it's my own fault. i wasn't expecting it but i wasn't not expecting it either. gross misconduct apparently so no notice given but they are going to give me two weeks pay and references.

Holy crap. Sorry man.

no warning?? wtf

i think as i see things (as described above) a warning would have been fair. i always thought there was a fairly strict process to these things - formal verbal warning --> formal written warning --> fired - but i guess they chose to skip those steps. I could appeal it or go to the CAb or something but I don't think that would help me get another job.

to tell you the truth, I've been moaning and moaning for what seems like eons about wanting to move on. having one was always what prevented me from actively going out and applying for things. i no longer have the comfort of a paycheque so I'd really better get off my arse.

tomorrow though. tonight I will drink.

my heart wasn't in it (understatement of the day) and although I worked hard(ish) and was good at it I'm pretty sure it

Get that resume out there, Dan.

Then I will follow my own advice.

I'm supposed to see if there's anything at G3n3r4l M1lls, actually; my sis-in-law is working for them (not in MN tho).

D3an's wife works a G3n3r4l M1lls - in Minnesota and everything. She's a food scientist of some sort. She must like it okay since she worked there for years, left... and then they lured her back to it. She travels quite a bit for whatever it is that she does. (something like "figures out how to make giant batches of processed foods...")

Nick, sorry about the sacking. Hopefully you will find something better post-haste!

(um since when is it fucked up that people who earn $$$ are expected to work long hours?)

(u don't think 16 hour days is fucked up?)

Or even 17.5 hour days!

fuck you jizzmob

one of the managers just came in and took up like 30 minutes trying to convince everyone that all the bullshit lately is actually a good thing and that it's all going to be cool as long as we don't mind that we're being forced to move to a shittier, less convenient facility, complete more nonsensical short-turnaround RFIs, piss off our partners in the community and generally work harder not smarter for the foreseeable future.

At one point he actually said to everyone "I've drunk the kool-aid, okay?"

The more I think about it the more I think I should run, not walk, away from this place, even though I've basically enjoyed working here over the past year way more than any other employment I've ever had.

One guy who left my company 4 weeks ago just came back because the place he went to was way way way way way worse.

I find this TERRIFYING.

jizzmob

One guy who left my company 4 weeks ago just came back because the place he went to was way way way way way worse.

haha yes that is the problem with possibly leaving here. I really don't have any coworkers right now that I completely can't stand, making this some kind of bubble of unreality that I fear to pop.

FEAR IS THE MIND KILLER

On the other hand, I was thinking back today to some of my horrible retail jobs and it pretty much boiled down to - 1. incompetent/crazy manager that finally left the bookstore and then selling books was A+ fun and 2. unbelievably bad system of management (no shock that Casual Corner finally went out of business).

I kind of miss my job at St. Olaf. It was easy and fun and paid decently.

I am content to be hunkered down in the job I am in. It weathers storms rather nicely.

The payment schedule for both "student nurse" and "mother" really suck. There does seem to be no employment shortage in these areas, however.

Also... mmmmmmm library job. It is kind of too bad that I found library school so boring... and expensive.

oh man i am getting super nervous about job hunting in the US. not really sure how i'll go about. and as much as i love being on holiday, being unemployed really scared the shit out of me - i haven't been without a job for more than a week in 8 years.

and i'm utterly terrified of getting stuck in hospo work again - but i don't have the self-confidence to walk into a print shop and say 'hey you should hire me even though i have next to no experience and there are hardly any women in this field because lifting those goddamn typecases is such fucking hardwork'.

also: your minimum wage is scary. here in nz the minimum is something like $11.50 before tax for an adult.

female bartenders and waitresses with accents get like 3x the tips though

yeah but it is super shitty work and i'm not moving half way round the world just so i can keep working nights and weekends and never see my boyfriend. that would be pretty self-defeating.

and apparently oakland is not all that good for tips, even for new zealish people with charming smiles and flirtatious personalities like mine.

lol, oakland.
agreed that the work sucks.

I haven't waitressed for years, but yeah, it does suck. I was half tempted to apply to work at a local coffee shop a few weeks ago - not for the money, but for the social interaction. I suppose coffee shops don't pay much, but the hours might be better than bartending or waiting tables.

I don't think it can hurt, though, to pursue the printing thing. The worst thing they can say to you is "no," right?

"The worst thing they can say to you is "no," right?"
otm. go for it.

everybody needs an intern

I allegedly find out on Friday if i get this job u_u

I've also got an interview next week for a better paying job that interests me less

I can't wait to flip this job off and ride into the sunset. I have my resignation letter penned in my head. I feel like I am being paid a stupid amount of money by a clueless company to install windows on dell PCs. It has a shit product developer with knowledge silos so they can't be fired for their shit work, a management team with no grip on the technology or the industry and I have over an hours commute each way to get here.

If I get into grad school I resign in november, if I don't I resign on the day I get the resignation letter and contract until I do get into grad school.

Tom, let us found a company that can somehow turn idiocy into platinum, we'll be billionaires overnight. (I know facebook has already been founded but there must be another pyramid scheme we can start)

facebook not actually worth anything except as an evetual telemarketing list

Mark Zuckerberg can laugh about it's demise from the window of his gold plated rocket car.

taking in $150m in revenues? maybe not worth what microsoft thinks it is but i wouldn't be scoffing at dem apples.

okay I almost murdered Windows XP

fuck you, automatic updates, for giving me a heart attack

thank you, VMWare, for saving my work even when the host OS closes you

ARGHGHGHGHGHGHGHHG, why is at least half my job giving click by click instructions on how to do basic windows XP stuff like doing multiple selections or installing drivers in windows XP. I mean fuck it fuck it fuck it, my resignation letter grows longer every day.

UGGH still haven't heard back about job. Apparently they're 'too bust with end of year stuff' = code for fail.

lol bust

motherfuckers

I haven't even been here the full eight hours and I feel I just pulled a twelve

I just had to deal with the same danish moron today and he has promised to call me again tomorrow because he won't have remembered or written down the same basic procedure we have gone through twice.

Third day with the danish moron and today we have the radio on in the office. I now know that Mark Knopfler has covered 'Walking in Memphis' a fact of which I was previously blissfully unaware.

Can't find any indication anywhere that Knopfler's done "Walking in Memphis", I'm guessing you just heard the original by Mark Cohn.

Count yourself lucky that it wasn't the glowsticks-in-the-air remix of the Cher version...

possibly, now we have, for the second time to day, some terrible mish mash/cover of Sweet Home alabama.

supporting the UK over the weekend, yay

oops I mean ugh

talking of support, I was woken up this morning by a support call from my favourite Danish Imbecile

FUCK YOU, WINDOWS 2003

also I almost got sent to London as a sacrificial lamb but BULLET DODGED HOORAY

But but Dan, Cockfosters

Ned, what part of "sacrificial lamb" don't you understand?

ALLOW ME MY VISION.

Dude, you can have your vision, but I'm obligated to protect Dan from being made into "lamb" stew.

FUCK YOU STUPID BOSS

fuck you 6am support call

fuck you, mscoree.dll, for magically unregistering and causing my entire team to lose a day of productivity

FUCK YOU, JOB, FOR FORCING ME TO TAKE TRIPS I DON'T WANT TO TAKE AT ALL

fuck you boss for being completely technologically illiterate and having a hissy fit every time you don't understand how the internet works (hint: stop using AOL)

Uh-oh, where are they making you go now? xp

tehresa - aaaaargh, are you secretly working for my parents?!

back to LONDON to get YELLED AT

Ugh. That sucks.

Especially when you can get yelled at just as easily here.

Remind me when you're quitting that job again?

As soon as I can actually go on some interviews...?

I love how Dan snuck that wallogina in after exactly 50 posts, just before it'd be swallowed up into "not loading all that" oblivion...

Also, plz come for drinks when in London, or something.

dan i'll trade with you. maybe.

I'm going to make some face time with my deputy director tomorrow to talk about becoming an honest to god civil servant. Am I completely out of my fucking mind?

To answer this question, we're going to bum rush the fridge and order a bad pizza

then obviously you have your wits about you and i trust your decision making

THOSE ARE THE ACTIONS OF A SANE MAN IS WHAT I AM SAYING unless you are out of beer in which case i worry and fret

beertronics currently operating at 100% capn

fuck you, job

Keep thinking that this is the voice of OT god when I read the title.

I'm really rather relaxed with my job at present -- but freelancing, that's another story.

Gah, now I want a pizza.

Are you out of your mind, Tom? Only you know the answer to that question.

bbeeeeeeerrtroniccs

buh buh buh buh b-b-beeeeeeerrrrrrrzrzrzrzrtronics. tronics.

this morning: boss mysteriously absent from office. no idea where he is.

Are you sure your boss hasn't actually quit before you had a chance to?

oh he's back now... on the phone... in the other room... being a chatty cathy... not giving me opportunity to quit... i think i'm writing a note tonight (For real this time!)

i have headache.

what in the world is so hard about quitting a job or asking for more money?

I have 100% of the time never ever had a problem with either of these things from my earliest ventures into the working world

of course I am terrible at about 89% of everything else in life that requires a modicum of simple good manners so maybe there you have it

i have always been really bad at quitting jobs. this is a spectacular failure, though.

i have always been very good at leaving jobs involuntarily.

i have never been fired.

I used to quit my job at my Dad's restaurant every day. I think that was a dysfunctional/venting family thing, though.

I did quit a horrible retail job I had at Casual Corner once after they made me incredibly, incredibly angry.

Otherwise I think I'm in the same boat with tehresa.

i was once fired from the same place twice. this does not reflect well on me, obv.

now he is blasting DO I HEAR A WALTZ? really fucking loud so that the conductor he's on the phone with can hear it. WTF?!

Hey, anyone in London who likes to drink should check in w/ the ILE thread I revived

ok srsly FUCK YOU JOB

I just got off a fucking plane and I'm supposed to go on fucking vacation and you're sending me back to fucking London. Fuck you.

Dan, is your job actually an experiment to see how much it will take to make you go postal?

I'm just asking.

Why do they want you to go back to London? You were JUST THERE

I haven't seen Dan explosively angry since middle school. These people do not want to do these things.

I have never seen this! (but really, I'm okay with that)

srsly fuck them with knives

OMG

BACK to london?!

srsly fuck them with knives

cosigned. sorry, dude.

ugh

Have you considered covering them in shellac and selling them off as an art exhibit?

Fucking hell, dan, that sucks.

FAP?

;-)

So, while issues still need to be fixed, things have actually dialed down somewhat in that the boss of the customer contacts who were making our lives hell just came down on them and said "wtf, we were told that this application wouldn't do what you're trying to make it do, stop being dicks".

So basically had one of our executives talked to their executives sooner, I would be in OH right now.

executive BLOWJOB, ceo of ASSHATTERY

Hmm. Did these customer contacts evince any shame or regret at all?

They should be forced to pay to get you to Ohio, plus give you the rest of August off.

Also, they should grovel.

so now we have moved on from "fuck you, job" to "fuck you, airline"

I should be landing in Cincy now. Instead, I am stuck in Newark until 8:05, at which point I get on a plane that departs for DAYTON. All of the Cincinnati flights were canceled because Newark had rain showers. This is, on balance, a good thing, because my flight was an hour late and I was going to miss my connection anyway because it was on the other side of the airport and only accessible by monorail.

AUGUST: a banner month for me so far

Argh, this all sucks. Will you get to Cincinnati by tomorrow I hope?

Should be there around midnight, so yes. I am really, really, REALLY pissed that J031 has to leave the party her parents' neighbors are having for her dad to come pick me up.

I never want to get on an airplane again now. Ugh.

(xp) Just don't fly through Newark. Ever.

Your advice is duly noted, sir.

also to top it all the rain lasted like 20 min.

argh

why oh why oh why did my coworker do a full build of all of the components on the system, even though it's been widely known that doing so is BAD NEWS for months

now I have to not only rebuild components, but also recreate changes to the INSTALLERS going back to January

ARGH

well at least now you don't have to worry about those hugs.

I no longer feel bad about sending that dude out to England.
