I swear, some people

Rant ahoy... things that annoy me:

Anti-smokers that walk thru a smoking area uttering those fake little coughs that are supposed to be some sort of subliminal statement about how I'm polluting them. Get a grip. There's five entrances to this building, only one of which we're permitted to smoke at. Dont choose mine if you dont like smoke. Seriously. 

Idiots that patch internal floor ports into an external hub. Do we want our lan exposed to the world in general? Welcome to change-of-control forms, signed by your resident "Network Nazi (tm)" .... ME.

Customers that purposefully refuse to earn about network equipment and expect yours truly to sort it all out when it goes pear-shaped. Not gonna happen, fluffy. I'll educate you if it means travelling to site with a red hot poker.

Vendors... tell me just once more that you're fixing "one or two more bugs" in a software upgrade I've been waiting for since October... yeah, see above for the red hot poker resolution. I'll have the bugs, thanks. I'll probably find a buttload more for you too, howboutthat?

Excessively negative people. Oops.

Spammers. Really... c'mon people. Sending 7000+ emails to me over the weekend in the hope I might buy a viagra pill or two (not necessary, I assure you :D) is not going to improve your sales figures. No, I wont copy the link from the email. No, I won't follow your spuriously crafted URL to your datamining site that's full to the eaves with trojan droppers. Not that it would matter if I did, because my browser doesnt allow that sort of crap. So, long story short, stop hitting my domains. What the spam filter doesnt catch, the network nazi does. Even more so once I get the filter upgraded, and the virtual learning agent programmed correctly.

End of rant.

Gotta <3 the power of blogger. During the scrawling of this angsty post, I've received a mail indicating I'm going to get my upgraded software :D
