We had a major fuckup at work.
The best analogy I can think of to explain what happened - say you've been working on a letter in a Word document. You hit save after ten paragraphs, get a soda, come back, add ten more paragraphs, and hit save again. Then you hit print. When you go to the printer, and see the pre-soda material but none of the post-soda material, you start looking for a gun.
This went to our live servers. This was VERY bad.
=================
In other news. I decided to just pirate the damn software myself.
5 minutes and I was up and running. Sigh. You know, it's sad that I tried REALLY hard to work with these guys when the easy option was right there. But its been almost a month, and they still havent taken steps to alleviate the problem. In fact, I'm STILL waiting on the reply from my two latest emails (I sent a followup to the longer one because i never got a reply). Now I just need to work on getting my money back from these asshats.
================
In OTHER news, the bank is on my shit list. I depoisted my pay check last week. I still dont have the money. I went in today, and asked them what was up. They said that the payee was not on the account. Now, this is my paycheck mind you. How the hell the name is different on my paycheck and my account, I havent figured out. My first couple paychecks deposited in that account just fine.
So, how do I fix it? Well, the bank says they should have mailed the check back to me. A week later, I still havent gotten it. Tomorrow, I have to go BACK and spend another lunch hour trying to work out this madness.
I have had no money for a week now, and I'd really like to eat. Normally I have backup cash for this kind of thing, but furnishing my new apartment and a 3000 mile move have depleted that pretty heavily.
