Today really sucked

No really. It did.

It started with the driver of the 393 bus on my way to work this morning, and didnt let up until I got home.

First there was the bus driver that let my girlfriend on to the bus, and then promptly closed the doors as I moved to follow her. I ran down to the next stop since he got stuck in the traffic waiting for the lights to change, and even though I got there before he did, he went right past me. Many thanks to the driver of the 395 ahead of him who saw this and waited for me even though I had waved him on so I could catch the 393 at the second stop.

Then there was the guy at work who thinks that localhost is a good name for a DNS listed machine with a real IP address. Ive wasted 3 days trying to get localhost to resolve to 127.0.0.1. How this guy got to be the DNS admin for the USA region of my global employers network is beyond me. Thankfully the Australian DNS admin had a clue, and fixed it.

Later, there was the pedantic little security guard who told me that despite being outdoors in a rather large open area, at least fifty feet from the nearest building and far from the nearest non-smoker, that I had to move about 20 feet further on to the tiny "designated smoking area" in the corner. I guess some people need to excercise what little power they have in order to feel important.

Finally there was the guy who implemented my change request the way he thought it should be done, rather than how I specified it should be done, without advising me. It was a simple scheduling change. He told me that I couldnt tell him how I want my jobs to be scheduled because the scheduling package was his toy, and that I should just tell him what I want scheduled and leave the rest to him. He didnt want to hear why I asked for them to be scheduled the way I did, and finally hung up on me when I asked him to send his response to me in writing.

Just thought I'd share.
