The Vent Thread

No, it's not a VoIP system. All the phones are controlled from the big grey box on the wall with the Nortel logo (imagine that).

He should KNOW that wouldn't fix the problem, because the phones AREN'T IP PHONES. Seriously, it's all RJ-11 going into a 66-block and there are no services even REMOTELY resembling telephony on the DC. It's bad enough he reboots the entire damned network (DC/DHCP/DNS/Exchange all on the one box), but he does it for a problem there is no way in hell it will solve!

And while I bust my ass to keep things running with nary a thank you, he spends a couple hours on hold with our telecom provider and everyone is kissing his ass for it!! Petty, I know, but it still pisses me off.

Oh wait, I forgot, he's (direct quote from up the ladder) "highly trained with much experience in the IT field" and is the chosen one who will save us all from the darkness of malfunctioning technology. But then again, our A/V Engineer who seems to be in way over his head is also a "highly trained professional."

Why is an IT Director even logging into a DC for?

[Dr. Derpface, J.D.]

This is probably why

Sometimes I really wonder how people even like me LOL. Especially with girls, cause I've had 3 girlfriends in the past who were decently attractive, and it's just like no idea what they saw in me.

Welp, my last three months sucked. Lost my job (got let go because I wanted to go back to college, and my boss was an ASS and waiting until the day before I was supposed to go), had a really shitty bout with anxiety/depression, and about ran out of savings completely. Didn't qualify for unemployment. I also had to give up on school, because my funds (as I mentioned) almost ran out. My family wasn't thrilled with me either, and we got into several heated discussions.

But a lot of good things happened out of all of that.

I got a new job as a Financial Analyst for a farming corporation (not so much accounting, but there's a lot of accounting involved in that), and I LOVE IT. My job is analyzing how well farmers are doing, and let them know how they can improve, as well as working A/P. I love my coworkers, my supervisor is a goddess, and I'm making more money than I was in public accounting AND work less hours. I also have medical insurance, paid vacation days, and paid holidays. In short, EVERYTHING I didn't have in my last job. :3

Came out to my grandparents, who didn't give a fuck. Nobody else, but hey, it's a start. :3

So in short, I'm happier now than I've ever been in my life, it just took three months of absolute shit to get there.

I really wanted to like Frozen, but the more I think about it, the less I like it.
