    Someday when I grow an intelligence I will contribute to this thread.

    In the meantime, I'm just going to make an observation that Dubya is a perfect example of this entire discussion.

    Well, coby, I HAVE to say something. You and yours have sooo much to offer to this forum, but instead, you choose to be arseholes almost EVERY step of the way. I was told ALL about you all, but still I played along. But then, iameditedby came by with his bu11****. So, I have to ask: what is up? The truth and the real you's for once??? So muich to offer, but so little you all give? WHY? Tell me: after all, I wasn't here back then, so: I am a NOOB in that respect. But geesh, there comes a time when you need to grow and get past all that "OLD" crap. So: where are you now, and where are your underlings? You ALL need to be be someplace, and here is where you all belong...but, at a price. You all have so much more to offer then the CLOWNS you all present yourselves to be. Come on now: be a part, and not a scar.

    [QUOTE=ilovetheusers] You can’t get to be the “boss” because you might threaten the existing idiots who hold the other “boss” positions.
    QUOTE]

    Mmmm too true, I was sacked once for "mis-use of e-mail" after my boss became threatened as it was becoming more and more obvious to her she knew f**k all about IT....

    For example, rather than configuring Outlook Web Access for 4 people who needed access to e-mails and only e-mails, she spent over £11,000 installing a VPN solution which never worked (timeouts, 56k dial ups on remote PC's, permissions, offline folders, etc). This was installed the week before I started, but it became my fault as I was the IT manager.... I was then instructed by her boss (Chief Executive) to sort out this "mess you've created".

    So I did, I switched off the VPN router, removed VPN software from PC's and configured Outlook Web Access using original router/firewall..... Voila, a working solution in an afternoon. But guess who got credit? That's right....

    Man I better stop as I could go on all day, about the virus software, UPS's, re-wiring cabinets, ghosting PC's, cabling, office moves.... grrrr even after all these years it still boils my blood.

    It would be more fun if we just had green.

    I heard a rumor that once upon a time people lauded and were motivated by success rather than hated it.

    Getting in trouble for and fixing other peoples messes and then not getting credit for all of your work is a specialty of mine too. This has to be in the top 10 most infuriating things in life.
