it has been nuts here this week, and it has been dealing mainly with aholes that want their systems back in the normal turn around time. They forget that Friday everyone is off!

So much for not getting my hands dirty.........stupid @#%$@# inkjets.

Im going absolutely nuts!!

Ive got people accessing Server Programs changing work objects and batch files with out telling anyone

Ive got people changing scheduled jobs when their not supposed too

People not being able to connect to the server...

Missing data out of database files... which requires tracing it through three different systems...

Managing the developement of a new application on top of all of that...

Give me beer or give me death!!!

It appears I have SP2 and Mr Gates to thank for that!

Bored ****less here mate, I'll drop round after lunch and give you a hand.

Jokin' aside, if you want a short-term contractor, make me an offer, the motor trade's not going to be doing anything for a month or two (kipper season), so I might as well go back to IT'ing
