I want to see police pushing back, too. What an incredible waste of time and resources.

We're troubleshooting an issue, and we've determined that the servers that need to communicate over port 80 can't. Tested two different ways. I asked the developer to test this Monday, but that's neither here or there.

I know that the infrastructure team runs the same tests we did, because I've asked them for sooper sekrit powers. But only the network admins offsite have those. I've been told not to ask them, because it takes a long time. Not even to walk over and tell the liaison this is important. Instead we're not doing anything, because we seem to need infrastructure to tell us to our face they can't do anything else? I'm not sure.

But my head is killing me enough that I wouldn't even drive home, just sleep for a while.

United needs to offer them apology and thousands of dollars in travel vouchers on another airline.

I find it unlikely that United will apologize, because that would involve admitting fault, and they clearly have no intention of doing so. Frankly, I had no idea that the captain had UNLIMITED discretion on an airplane. Aren't there guidelines?

Howdy.

Today's new discovery in the absurdity of this mess and yet more proof that the decision to fire me has already been made, and possibly an end date selected...one of the items with which "there continues to be errors and inaccuracies made" is something that has not been part of my job FOR 8 MONTHS!!!!

Oh, do point that out, msbelle. Do you have the memo or email in which it was removed from your position? (I see no reason to make this easy for them: they're assholes and deserve to have it shown.)

why yes, YES I DO.

steaming piles of poo. This is so clearly a done deal.

For your convenience, msbelle.

Gah, msbelle! At least you know you aren't paranoid?

Flying cars. Who's on that?

Oh, hey I heard something about - they said not to call them flying cars, they are more like planes you can drive? I wish I could remember more about that or even where I heard it. It sounded nifty. Still in prototype stage, I want to say, but the prototype flies and drives and fits in big garages and fills up at the gas station, so, someone is on it, is I guess my point.

I came home early, did more final cleaning before the in-laws show up, and then made the mistake of sitting down. There is more stuff I need to do. Plus their plane arrives in half an hour.
