Contact from the other side..

On a lighter note...

Of course I still connect to IRC and idle there and to my amazement, in my logs I see where the soon-to-be X had connected. She only stayed for a minute but...what the heck is she joining IRC and going to our channel for? She isn't very stealthy about some things, matter fact, she's quite transparent. I just wonder what she has up her sleeve as she never got right to the point. She always diverted attention until she found an easy way to attain the goal without confrontation.
I sent her an email aasking what she wanted (because I'm sure she wants something) and to give me an address that I can send the divorce papers to. She didn't respond as of this morning...
I hope she didn't want to "just talk" because I don't love her anymore and she damn sure made sure that we weren't going to be friends (at tax time). Hopefully she was trying to look me up to deliver divorce papers to me...wouldn't that be great! Hmm...her pay for it? doubt it...not unless she found another idiot that would pay for it for her.

I lived my life for three things. A wife, a kid, and a family. She helped me to not have two of those. I'll never forgive her for that. She had ill intent from the get go and I was blinded by love to see it. Silly me...

MUST BE MONDAY!! (on Tuesday)

Last Thursday we were notified that a section of training would be hitting the web for coursework instead of using what we had locally and to be prepared Tuesday for the event. I didn't like the whole idea because it seems like just another nail in the coffin for our contract but, of course I (and we) have no say so about the situation so we have to deal with it. However, we did advise against it and of course, Monday morning comes along and we have several network related issues preventing the pilot program from working. First, they couldn't resolve the name of the proxy server to navigate because the proxy server was down, they got the proxy server back up and then we discovered that the internal DNS servers were not resolving. I called those that were in charge and they asked me to check on their stuff and lo and behold their stuff was indeed mucked up. Those in charge stated that our internal DNS servers weren't even in their list of authorised servers so that in and of itself is an issue as we can't pull records from the authoratative server. I logged into their DNS servers to try and stop and start the service but of course I could not... "You do not have sufficient rights to perform the operation..."
Just goes to show, try to take something good and make it better by removing a part of the machine and the next thing you know the cogs do not fit well. Bah...random thoughts...
