Head Bangingly Frustrating Day

Arggghhh!!!

What a poo day I have had today.

Earlier this week the small oojamaflip that makes my work PC connect to the work network decided to "expire" itself and quite stroppily told me I had to go and install a new version from the network. A bit darn tricky when the software which lets me access the network no longer works eh???

So a nice chap emails me the files on my other work PC (it's a long story but I work with up to 4 machines all connected to different places) . Yay methinks, problem solved.

NOPE it wasn't not on your nelly. I spent 2 hours last night trying to install and no dice! Do you know how many times I can say the "F" word.............hmm lots.

So after I dropped Alex off this morning I headed to town to my works office to see if I could connect there to download the dratted software. I had less than an hour as I had a doctors appointment.

Well I tried and tried and FAILED, miserably, I packed up my stuff and made it to the doctors just by the skin of my teeth.My doctor was OFF, ILL!!!! Arrggggggghhhh. Luckily I played the chemo card (it doesn't get played very often) and someone else saw me, so that was OK.

So, I decided to leave it a few hours, get on with some work and call the helpdesk.

BIG MISTAKE , HUUUUUGE, the guy was a very nice chap from India but it took him aaaaages to understand what I was saying and what my name was, I almost lost the will to live.............

So the upshot is that my machine still won't connect and I have to sort it out next week and I could weep with frustration.

The clincher is, the guy on the phone gave me a ref number to check on the progress of my call, which is, yup you guessed it, ON THE NETWORK THAT I CAN'T ACCESS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
