A "disk drive full!" alert goes out, and my manager forwards it to me and three other people to make sure we see it, which is good, because I was filtering (oops) that email address away. Since no one is actually expert on this system, I suggest a few reasons it could have run out of space, and a few places to start looking for the capacity hog. I say, explicitly "I can't do this. Who can? Also look for these file types:...." and when I call the only developer that seems to be in the office to see if she's done anything she says "I thought you said you were working on it."

Seriously? Seriously? How little get up and go are you willing to admit not having?

The good news is that it got John Derbyshire fired from the National Review. The bad news is, The National Review continues to be a haven for rascist assholes.

The even worse news is, calling for the death of Chelsea Clinton on the ground of "I don't like her parents" didn't get Derbyshire fired from the National Review.

ARRRRGH. New workplace is making me FUCKING CRAZY.

I've been staffed on a project that is a "rescue", first of all (we took it over from another company who was fucking it up) and second of all NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY"RE DOING. Which means they're telling me blithely "you need training in A, and then go do X Y and Z!" only X Y and Z aren't POSSIBLE, at least not without new info or access (and when you reply to my email "no, just do it" that's NOT HELPFUL). And then when it turns out I also need to do B, C, and possibly D-K? You're not helpful when you tell me it should only take a few minutes to do all those.

What do you guys get when you go to this [link] ? The first time, I got a display of lovely philosophy posters, sadly with print too small to read, but now I'm getting redirected to [link] and it's loading a badly rendered screen with no styling. Did they get notcotted?

I got redirected to that other page.

Me too.

ION, I am now working on a database table called pmsEmployees.

Does it circle their calendar in red?

Nah. It's basically a security table.

Timelies all!

Am tired of matzah and related products, though it's only the third day. Ah, well.

Apparently my pain doctor is going to call me back, which would be nice, because I haven't been this laid out by pain in a long time. Sad to say, I can definitely feel the positive effects of the shot Sunday morning--I suspect I'd be way worse off without it. I hope the doctor can call me back, because my appointment isn't until the 17th with him.

I got approval for the presentation I made at work! All the changes we wanted to make for the server consolidation have been given the thumbs up.

We're so fucked. This is so much work, and we don't have an onshore technical SME. SO fucked.
