Excuse me for this, but DAMN MICROSOFT!!!
There is a saying that I often use:
I can’t get my job done because my job gets in the way.
What I mean when I say this is that there are so many little tings that have to get done on a day-to-day basis (supporting users, checking the backups, checking logs, etc) that I can’t get the things done that I need to get done (build the new SQL server, investigate new IDS products, research the best solution for our videoconferencing project). I say this with a grin most times because I know, though it is frustrating, that both are necessary.
However, when Microsoft keeps coming out with a patch every week because a critical flaw has been found in another piece of their OS or whatever other product they put out, it just chaps my hide (yes, I am from Texas). I have enough to do without having to worry about a critical flaw in MDAC. I know bugs will happen, but this is getting ridiculous!
OK, I am done venting. Now I will get back to not doing my job because of my job.
