Your request has been passed on. I upgraded it to "life a completely pain-free life," hope you don't mind.

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...

Isn't e-mail support helpful? 
So, as promised, my tales of present day life.
1) Stupid software support people.
Now, I know the job is difficult. Hell, a large portion of what I DO is support on software. However, I'm only tolerant to a certain extent, then I become HIGHLY irritable.
Now, normally when I use software on a daily basis, I either find a free solution, or I...

Holy fucking shit. Email tech support sucks the most dick. At least on the phone, you can figure out that the person you're dealing with has no fucking idea what you are talking about within the first 10 minutes and try to escalate.
Pirating software is a blind-spot in my ethical practices; I'm not sure exactly why. It's the only object or service that I steal. It's true that I couldn't afford ProTools, or the Adobe CS suite-- but even still . . . I used Office rather than OpenOffice when I was on a PC. Because I could.
I think it's at least partly because I came into computer culture through hacker culture (although I don't hack) . . . hm. Could be. I recently got legit copies of a couple of pieces of software I use daily, so slowly but surely I'm going legit.

Man you're persistant. Kudos to you. I would have buggered off to find a key gen.
Sophie has reminded me that I'm possibly the worst journal updater ever, who actually updates. Interesting caveat, i know, but whatev.
I have a long weekend of doing NOTHING ahead of me, so expect entries about
1) Stupid software company support people.
2) The best grocery store EVER, which happens to be 1 mile from my house.
3) How the increasing gas prices are going...

Stupid software company support people stories are fucking funny!
Today was spent organizing other people's shitty documentation and making it coherent and useable, further deepening my ingrained hatred of the human race.
I'm constantly amazed on the productivity lost by people half assing their job, and being forced to redo piss poor work. Is it really that hard to do work correctly the first time through?

Monday evening update.
Longest day of work, EVER.
Wrist is feeling much better.
Eating spicy tofu and veggies.
Going to lay down in a bit and watch some firefly.
That is all
