I just sent an email to my supervisor reporting a senior tech, one of the people I ask for help from, for essentially incompetence. He transferred a case that he didn't have time to finish to me, and when I called the customer to continue the reinstall the senior tech had started, the customer told me not to uninstall anything, no one had said that was going to happen, and that people were still working and didn't have time to stop. In other words, he hadn't gotten confirmation to make such a big change.
He's recommended draconian measures before for things that I didn't think were that big, and I've gotten other senior techs to agree and to recommend simpler fixes. I've long thought he wasn't competent enough to do the job, but I've just dropped hints and given less than glowing surveys. But when a customer gets that panicky, I couldn't let it go. So I ratted him out to my supervisor, who at least is someone I trust.
We shall see.

Motherfucker. First I discover I need to install an update that will take 40 minutes to download and then the cats take out the Internet by wrestling and THEN I can do a last backup to attach to the new computer to migrate the data. I might have it working by tomorrow night....

And now it's saying 5 hrs. I give up.

I managed to put together enough spoons to vacuum and the vacuum cleaner died.

Come on, vacuum cleaner, it's your job to suck, how hard can that be?

Thanks for the advice, Jesse! We just drove by the offices for this place. One mile from our house. I have no idea if the work is actually happening there though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've finally accepted that I can't find the glasses, so I'll call the hotel and the car rental place tomorrow. Blast.

I bet they have them. I got a call from the hospital telling me they found my lost pair of socks. I declined to call them back, figuring they could figure out that I wasn't going to make a special trip in for a pair of socks.
