I'm sure out there somewhere, there are some great IT guys. I have never worked with them. I understand their frustration with someone who's mouse doesn't work because they unplugged it :true: but after I have come to you a few times with problems that you have trouble solving, give me the benefit of "I already restarted and that didn't fix it" or "no the backup is corrupt too".
Oh no, not at this company. We have one idiot running his own department, who loves for everyone to know he is Microsoft certified. (As we often say, he's probably both "micro" and "soft" and most definitely "certifiable" so maybe this is where he gets this idea?)
So the reason for my mad typing right now. He got an email from a software company in January that there was an update that needed to be installed. So I'm working away, wasting 2 whole days, because of this bug that should have been fixed. I email the software company, who says "Hey we told you about that". F-ing great. So I go track him down, but because it's after 3:59, he's long gone. I show up this morning to him on my computer deleting the ENTIRE program, and reinstalling it. It's called an UPDATE for a reason jackass.
Then, as he does this, he manages to delete my Outlook Address Book, and when I ask him to reinstall it, he makes it so my emails won't send, including the one to software guy from above. I said I have to get this done I'll just use my gmail til you get to it so what does he do? HE BLOCKS GMAIL. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? So I sent it out with my Yahoo account instead, but MY GOD. How is this guy still around?
