TGTF. This has been a trying week. I'd call in sick tomorrow, but I'd already been committed to help the CEO with a project and things are tenuous enough in my department as-is. I don't mind pulling my weight and then some, but my peers really need to wake up and quit f'ing off or they're gonna get sacked. We're perceived as unprofessional at this ( Read more... )

I'm beginning to really hate my job. This sucks, as I used to enjoy it. I have little respect left for upper management and frankly, I'll laugh my tail off when they crater the place ( Read more... )

After an more-aggravating-than-usual game of find a parking space (had I been driving my car, I might have recreated one of the trailer scenes from Fried Green Tomatoes), I had ( Read more... )

Thank dog this week is over. I spent a fair part of my day moving equipment and furniture at the office. Funny, I remember something about responsibility for such crap being passed on to the new Facilities department...I guess some things never change ( Read more... )

Not sure if they were enough to render the power supply inoperable (as I've seen worse that was still running), but I'm going to replace them and hope for the best. I had one of the cap types onhand.
