You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

HP UX is pronounced by seasoned sysadmins as "H-Pukes". It, along with AIX, are things that I deliberately avoid learning about even though they're things I'm likely to encounter in my job.

If I'm going to learn something, then I *learn* it. i.e., it's not just knowing the sequence of steps to perform a task, but getting under the hood and really knowing how things work. And these systems suck badly enough (and have a low enough market penetration), that it just isn't worth my time to figure them out on that level of detail.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We never sold a single HP UX box the time I was there. Which was great, since I'd have no idea what to do with a real live one. The other certs were based on work I did, although I did have to study specifically for the tests.

I just never know what sort of Unix I'm ever going to bump into. Each time seems to be a new sort.

My GOD. The noise in here is killing me. Not painwise, but I totally can't concentrate on complex tasks with the person in the cube next to me yelling into their phone headset. Why did the quieter one have to move?

I really have to learn Project. Maybe the book goes to the movies on Sat and gets read in between.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Project is pretty easy to walk through (on a basic level) if you know all of the information you want to put into it.

yep and I did ok getting a single project in. But, we don't have a MS Project server and I need to see how 4-5 projects at once interact and impact resources. That is what I have not been able to do.

Oh, but you can't without the server, right? So that's that.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Beautiful. Someone went behind the group's back and added a controversial person to a con-related comittee without consulting anyone else about it. Said person knows they've been added and thus can't be extracted without causing hurt feelings.

This is not going to end well, as I'm not in the mood to let things slide or be the voice of reason right now.

Argh.

Well, you could fudge it using indentation.

ita, can I email you what one of my project docs looks like for a client and ask for suggestions?

Sure, msbelle.
