I now have a desk which allows my monitor to be facing away from anyone walking in - in the past, anyone could walk in to my office, sneak up behind me, and see what was on my screen (porn).
Truly, I am now master of my domain. I have reached the top tier of IT.

Sins of the Thinly-Stretched-IT-Budget

HEY GUYS I THINK I KNOW WHY THE RAID KEEPS DYING
If there's a circle in Dante's Hell for enabling bad IT, we're going there.

Déjà vu
Back in September, I made a teaser post - linked here - but then things happened and I never got around to explaining what it was all about.
Now, the same thing is happening again, so I might as well explain it.
Basically, there's not enough cash to pay everyone, and as an external contractor, PonyGirl gets the shaft. Any money we get goes towards paying wages, and what's left is divided among all kinds of business shit I don't really know about (and neither does the BigBoss, apparently). PonyGirl is now owed a fuckload of money - this has happened before (in September, and before that as well), but this time everyone can see that there's no real comeback from the position we're in.
(Normally I try not to post about financial stuff, but the end is near).
PonyGirl has done the right thing for his business and his family and has quit. Sort of. While he's asked me to change his passwords and disable his access, he's still trying to find a solution to the problem (read: get his god damn money). Thus, all of our IT now falls onto me, with iOrgasm as my manager - of course, I'm not getting paid any extra yet.
Maybe this blog should shift from comedy to tragedy.

GARGLE YOUR BLOOD, CONSUME YOUR FLESH, YOU HAVE CHOSEN THIS MISERY FOR YOURSELF
So, against all better judgement, I'm back for another year at Hogwarts my hellhole. Even after 2 days, I can see that this year is going to be even more of a punishment than last year; the planned office move from last year still has no planning, but apparently we move tomorrow. Our poor staff are stuck on wireless 3G modems and mobile phones to conduct business.
I'm hoping that the Mayans were right with 2012. Fear not though, there will be plently of horror tales in the coming year!
Oh, and I've been told to ditch our backup software. Apparently CTRL+C, CTRL+V is all anyone needs.
