What a pain in the smurf
on: March 06, 2012, 12:42:08 AM
Did the application/print server upgrade today, one of those things that shouldn't be too bad, but ends up being a lesson in perseverance and patience. Of course none of the printers wanted to cooperate, and then Server 2008 kept changing permissions for no good reason. :rant:

Then the inevitable call comes that someone's program isn't working while you are trying to fix 10 other problems. And you get this conversation:

"What's wrong?"

"It won't start"

"Has it been acting up at all?"

"Well for the past few weeks I've had to click on 'ignore' a bunch of times each day, but then it was OK"

"Why didn't you say something sooner?"

"I thought you were busy"
Never underestimate the power of the fleece
