The Robot's Thoughts

Ugh…I hate when I get sent on IT snipe hunts. I’m not going to get my projects done any faster working 10 hour days if 5 hours are spent doing Network Troubleshooting. Unsuccessfully doing it, I might add. Kodak has these SCSI scanners that don’t seem to want to work. Windows doesn’t recognize them. The capture software installs wrong and then won’t uninstall without leaving a crapload of registry keys behind which prevent any further installation from making progress. Two Compaq PCs got turned into doorstops for cause unknown. They keep locking up so frequently virus scans and spyware scans don’t have a chance to get started, much less complete. And my boss is out, so its unlikely he’ll understand if I don’t make deadline.

Happy Freakin’ Monday Everyone. I felt like I should get some of this out of my system during lunch, since my inability to get results after such an investment of time looks like ‘no tech skills’, not “this hardware is fucked”. (Potential Causes I haven’t ruled out for the compaq’s uselessness: Bad RAM. Bad Drive.)  More importantly, those scanners need to be setup for a project which is kicked off tomorrow, off-site.  

I think I’m going to be doing more then 10 hours overtime this week. So if you see me online, say hi. I’ll probably won’t be getting out much.

And neither will most of my buds – finals are coming up soon. Good Luck guys. Go out and show off that moneymaker (your brain, unless you’re sleeping with the professor, which in that case, is your body.)
