(Gespalder/201394) Why are you asking for info I already submitted?

Gespalder@rss.iscabbs.com — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 12:16:00 -0600

Why are you asking for info I already submitted?
I have a copy of the documents you sent me and the info you are asking for was
already submitted. So why in the hell are you asking me to submit this info?
You ALREADY HAVE THE DAMN INFO!!!!

So the printer has been down all day, and you are just now telling me
this?????????? And, you need some things printed for a job fair tomorrow. Let
me just xerox a bunch of "DON'T WORK HERE" sheets for you. That should cover
it.

Cragmor@rss.iscabbs.com — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 02:57:00 -0600

Is it really so bad that I politely asked on the status of my expense check?
They have been taking longer and longer to get to me, and the charges on my
credit card are starting to collect interest. I guess I am turning in another
expense report for the interest. Suck it.

Why are you such a judgemental fuck?  I bet if someone talked to you the way
you talk to others, you'd hit teh roof.

Cragmor@rss.iscabbs.com — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 06:56:00 -0600

Not sure why I was feeling generous, but since I had a ton of cat-5 cables I
was not using, and not worth trying to sell, I figured I would donate them
here. I answered your questions, told you they were not crossover cables, but
normal 568b, which you did not understand. Yeah, it was nice to find you
talking to someone about them, asking them to test the cables for you. You all
but told this guy (who is not IT, not even close) I have no idea what I am
talking about. On the bright side, the look on your face when I took the cables
from you, and gathered up the rest, and rescind the donation was priceless.
Oh, at you did finally help me make up my mind, and start looking for classes
so I can get out of here.

Cragmor@rss.iscabbs.com — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:59:00 -0600

How is it that the majority of systems/IT people that I deal with cannot
understand the concept of how a splitter works? Fucking hell, the splitter has
one male, on female and one RJ-45 connector. Unplug the cable, note that there
is only one place it can connect to the splitter. Also note that the other
connector will plug into where the cable used to be plugged into. Run a CAT-5
cable from the RJ-45 connector to my computer, into the indicated port. When I
trained at this, I had it un about 13 seconds. Why are we going into hour
fucking three on connecting this fucking thing????!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!OMGWTFBBQ

Cragmor@rss.iscabbs.com — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:22:00 -0600

Why the hell do you keep me here? You ask me to configure something for you.
But, you will not let me touch your laptop, so I have to tell you what to do.
You constantly start clicking on things you should not. I tell you you need to
do this first, and you get upset saying you do not want to do that. Does not
matter that this is the first fucking step to do what you want, and your fears
are unfounded. No, doing this first step will not make it visible to everyone.
Even so, you are adamant that it will. If you know all about it, why the fuck
are you calling me to set it up for you? Over and over again. You obviously do
not think I have a fucking clue how to do this job, so why haven't you fired
me?

Another Yossarian@rss.iscabbs.com — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:41:00 -0600

Gripes to today.  Undergrads continually piss me off because of their inate
inability to listen to simple directions.  "Place all glassware in the white
tub and put the disposable test tubes in the broken glass box."  Glassware was
left on tabletops, test tubes were left in the white tub, and I was asked 17
times what to do with the glassware.  Then, nothing worked for the simple task
of making some bacterial lawns with antibiotic disks for a class that should
have no need of these plates (seriously, why does a plant diversity class need
bacterial plates with antibiotic disks?).  Then on the way home, I get behind
some idiot who stops a carlength before the line at the stoplight, causing me
and the dozen or so cars behind me to have to sit through 3 light cycles before
you finally inch up far enough to trigger it.  Then he drives 5-10 mph below
the speed limit the entire way down this back country road (with me and the now
more than a dozen cars in a line behind him) when I'm trying to get home before
my child goes to sleep.  Asshole.

And gripes to this whole goddamned week.  I had everything planned and then my
first day off is going to be ruined by an allergist appointment where my
allergist is going to tell me once again, "Some people just don't respond to
anything," while sending me off with yet another prescription for something
that won't work.  Then, Thursday now will be mostly taken up with a
wake/funeral/lunch.  I hate funerals.  I'm going to look like a raccoon (with
puffy red eyes) for the rest of the day.  Fuck.

Another Yossarian@rss.iscabbs.com — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:32:00 -0600

Gripes to everything I have to do, no motivation to do it, and now I have a
wake/funeral to attend.  I was supposed to get this module done for class this
week, but seeing as how I'm only on part 2/8, tomorrow I'll be in class all
day, Wednesday I have an allergist appointment that came out of the blue, I
need to get a pedi for Saturday, there will most likely be a wake, with funeral
plus lunch on Thursday, class on Friday...  Looks like very little will get
done this week.  :(

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:30:11 -0600

This is really starting to get infuriating. Part of it, I know, is my personal
training and exprience speaking here, but I think I have a breadth of
experience that trumps the supposed depth that you have.

You've worked for a couple companies and built a couple application
environments... I built application environments for dozens of companies. You
get a good handle on what 'makes sense' and what is sustainable and workable by
doing that.

Rolling 'own' solutions is neither sustainable, nor is it really supportable,
not without a bunch of staff. We're a fucking startup - we don't have the staff
to build out all these neat off the way ways you want to do things.

What is so fucking hard or 'broken' with a LB fronted LAMP stack that we have
to go about building in multiple heartbeat 'clusters' to manage multiple nginx
and haproxy frontends in a application interaction that makes NO FUCKING SENSE?

You want to know WHY I don't have your ops test environment up yet? Because
how we're doing things makes absolutely no fucking sense to me. Yeah, it's
working, but that doesn't mean it's optimal from an operations perspective.
Sometimes one must consider the supportability of a solution when looking at
'how can we do this', even if it means we have to *gasp* spend an extra $400 a
month to have another apache VM up rather than using nginx.

For fuck's sake, man...

Cragmor@rss.iscabbs.com — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 03:47:00 -0600

You do not see a problem migrating to a new sql server the week that we are in
production, and need to be writing to and reading from the... wait for it...
sql server. The first weekend of the month is huge for crunching data, and you
want to take down the server to test the new server. You also just decided to
drop all this on us today, expecting that none of us have any plans for the
weekend (Superbowl weekend).
You expect this to go into next week, so that means the data crunching weekend
is lost, and several days of production is lost. You really see no problems
with this when you could have moved it to any of the other 3 weeks in the month
and not have interrupted so much?

Another Yossarian@rss.iscabbs.com — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:01:00 -0600

Gripes to ESRI.  First, you tell my professor that students can get a 40%
discount on your software.  This brings down the cost to $300, on top of the
cost of the class.  Without the discount, it's over $500!  Then a classmate
finds someone there who will give us the discount.  I contact him, along with
most of my class, and he still manages to sell me the wrong fucking thing!  I
finally get the email, two days later, and I have paid $100 for a 1 year
license of something I could get free for 60 days (which would probably
suffice, as long as my thesis doesn't need it).  I get this after jumping
through a bunch of hoops to prove I'm a student, then after 24 hours getting an
email, "How do you spell your name?"  Oh, I don't know, it might be in my
fucking email address!  Literally, my email address is my first name @ my
last name.  You just emailed me.  Another 24 hours go by.  I get the link and
figure out I got the wrong thing.  I email you to ask why I can't seem to get
this module.  It's because you sold me the wrong thing.  Now I have to pay $300
for the stuff I need.  You say you'll put a rush on it because I've been
waiting so long.  That was 14 hours ago.  This means your rush orders (which
consist of sending out an email with a code) takes over 24 hours.  I now have
less than a week to get all this stuff done for class because you guys have
fucked around on me for the last week and a half.  That's about 16 hours worth
of figuring out how ArcGIS works.  My brain is going to be bleeding by the end.
That is, if I ever get the email...
Fuck.

systems. So, when we are done, and I explain that we need to ensure that

Mother fuck, god damn it all!!! Since you have been out of the office, no one
has been able to give me my fucking expense checks. Now I am paying interest of
company expenses. Not only that, but I have one expense report I have not even
been able to turn in because you have not been here. Even so, you tell me that
I cannot do an expense report on interest on my credit card expenses that you
have not ensured I was reimburesed for in a timely manner. FUCK YOU!

Gripes to having to watch how I phrase things.  It will either get:
a.) taken at its most literal when the person knows better
b.) completely the wrong interpretation, and thereby receive an irrelevant
    comeback
c.) an overly sensitive reaction which I should not have to anticipate and
    tread delicately.

Just grow the fuck up, all of you.  If not interacting at all was an option I
would take it.

Gripes to seeing this guy I had a huge crush on 20 years ago in HS.  Dear gods,
he's still so sexy and smart and nice...and my zipper was down the entire time.
Talking to him, though, felt like I was that freshman again, talking to a
senior who treated me like an intelligent human being instead of a baby.  I
could've talked to him all night.  Too bad we're both married and he lives in
another state...

Hessed@rss.iscabbs.com — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:27:00 -0600

You have once again completely managed to blow me away with your inability to
tell the truth. I know you cheated on me. I know you started dating another
woman before we even broke up. Now you email me for no reason to tell me your
last gf is not a good person, and I should stay away from her. I've never evern
met her. And then you had that you don't regret our relationship and you feel
lucky to have known and loved me, but you are sorry you weren't truthful about
a lot of things. What are you trying to do? Make yourself look good? That's
never going to happen. I don't ever email you or call you. Why would you email
me tonight with all of this bullshit? Do you want me to tell you it's ok and I
forgive you? Well, I don't. It's not okay. Even I, who sees the good in
EVERYONE, am pretty close to writing you off as a horrible person who needs to
stop using up oxygen that could be used by good people. If I didn't spend so
much time working with angry kids and telling them beating people up isn't the
solution, I would probably be driving over to where you are staying and proceed
to beat the shit out of you. I've never hit anyone in my life, but I think the
entire world would understand if I hit you. Even my pastor refers to you as
"Shithead." Yep, you're messed up and you have issues, but so do a lot of
people. I have issues, but you know what? I work my ass off to make sure they
don't interfere with my daily life and I especially work my ass of to make sure
I don't take my shit out on other people. Be kind. Why is it so hard for people
to be kind? I offered up the most supportive, non-judgmental platform for youto
heal. Yeah, I think I need to go punch you. You don't deserve to be okay. I
know you expect me to email you back and tell you I forgive you and I wish the
best for you, because that is my nature. You always loved that about me. Well,
fuck you. No one has ever treated me as poorly as you treated me, so it's a
whole new set of rules. I hate you.

Aightball@rss.iscabbs.com — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 05:08:00 -0600

Gripes to companies that don't let you know when things have changed. You
didn't give me any reason to check and see if my prescription number had
changed. So, I ordered my refill with plenty of time, since it can take up to a
fucking week to get this shit. When it doesn't come in the usual seven days, I
call you. "That's the old prescription number" huh? Why would that change? And
why can't you get it out to me sooner than next week? I have ONE FUCKING PILL
left because I thought my medication was ordered and on its way. "Well, you
should call us next time". No. You have online ordering and I'm using it. It's
there for a reason. Next time, put a note in my order that says "hey, your
number changed!" because I have no reason to think it will change. And when
someone tells you "this is asthma medication and I have one pill left" you need
to then say "sure, we can get out to you in a couple of days". When I can't
breathe after tomorrow, I'll be sure to call you and let you know. 5-7 days is
BULL FUCKING SHIT to have wait for medication, esp. when I can't exactly get
samples anymore from my doctor.

Aightball@rss.iscabbs.com — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 05:19:00 -0600

Gripes to "service fees". What sort of BS is that? Here I thought I'd managed
to squirrel away birthday and Christmas money enough to pay my tags. Money I
wanted to have some fun with, you know? But no, I was a grown up and forewent
anything *I* wanted all for my tags. And I'm still four dollars short? What the
fuck do you want a service fee for? *shakes head* I guess we'll see what Friday
brings..maybe I can pull it out of my paycheck.

And reverse my polarity?  I'm sick of "daytime" stuff making me fall asleep.

Gripes to my lungs. I don't know what has you pissed off, but please become
happy again. It's probably the cold weather and there's nothing I can do about
that.

And gripes to the cost of my medication! I could swear the last time I got that
I had no insurance and it was $10! I'll be call the pharmacy tomorrow, that's
for sure!

Gripes to fucking malware.  Gripes to fucking trojans.  Gripes to hijacks that

At least I was able to bypass that bullshit and download the tools needed to
clean this fucker.  Talk about obnoxious.

Okay, just once I'd like an evening without the usual half dozen drops in
connection.  Is that really too much to ask?  And you idiots got the city's
franchise agreement... how, exactly?  And even more importantly... for how
long?

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 04:50:12 -0600

Damn.  It's been a month.  And I'm not even kinda-sorta-maybe close to being
able to cope with this.  And I just had a kinda-uncomfortable insight: I think
I'm feeling pretty much the same emotions that I did when my mom passed away. 
"Interestingly," I seem to have skipped the first three stages of grief and
headed straight for depression, and that was true both times.

Another Yossarian@rss.iscabbs.com — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 19:21:00 -0600

You guys seriously don't know how close I am to quitting the game.  All the
conversations anymore are either about finance or politics, two topics I
couldn't care less about.  Every time I try to talk, someone talks over me, or
I'm dismissed.  And since I can't seem to win anymore, I don't know why I'm
still there.

(Trillian/201333) Son of a &^%^%#@!

Trillian@rss.iscabbs.com — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 09:45:00 -0600

Son of a &^%^%#@!

You didnt appreciate him in his position. You made empty promises about him
getting a more regular schedule and a regular days off.  And for a year, you
did not deliver.

Then since two or more other people failed to make the client happy at the
other position, you insist he go to this other assignment/position. He finds
out he is HAPPY there, he is doing a great job, the clients are happy-- VERY
HAPPY. His WIFE (ME) is happy. He is appreciated, His schedule is regular and
he has a regular day off and plenty of morning time at home to help wife (ME)
with appointments and so on as surgery gets near.

And now you tell him, the two and a half people who took over the OLD position
arent doing it well, and you want him back at the old job, where YOU never kept
your promises, and you tell him he has no choice in the matter.

You have just made your star employee upset enough to call home from work. Yes,
I know, you want him everywhere to save your ass. Well, theres only one of him,
and if you dont want to pay attention to what makes him happy, you will end up
with NONE of him. Dont play hardball when you cant afford to lose. There are
other good jobs he can get, and any employer he's ever had would take him back
in SECONDS.

If I were you, I'd not push him. I'd not try the empty promises again. I'd
seriously think about what you are going to do when you finally piss him off
enough to go to a new job altogether.

Ok, seriously, if you were any more of a baby, I'd have to start breastfeeding
again.  You twisted your ankle, but walked on it all evening.  Then when we get
home, you suddenly start hopping around on one foot and have to lay in bed all
night and need crutches.  Tomorrow's going to be fun...  Grah!

Another Yossarian@rss.iscabbs.com — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 19:28:00 -0600

Me:  Hi, Comcast, my TV and internet aren't working.
Comcast:  We can send a tech out.  I just need your account number or the
          amount of your last bill.
Me:  My husband does our bills online.  I can't access that because I have no
     internet.
Comcast:  I understand that, but for your security, I need the answer to one of
          those questions.
Me:  And I'd be happy to answer that if my internet worked.  However, at that
     point, I wouldn't need your tech.

This went on for 30 minutes.  *headdesk*
After multiple threats of finding someone who WOULD send a tech out (AT&T),
they finally set up a service call.
5 hours later, everything is working again.
I call back to cancel the service call.

Comcast:  OK, we'll need your account number to cancel the service call.

Good God! You are so fucking annoying. I cannot believe we are even remotely

not. You want info that is irrelevant to what I originally asked.
I have never hit a woman (a vow I swore never to break) but you tempt me
mightily to break it.

What the fuck do you want from me? First you say I can have my small shelf out
beside my house. Then you say it has to be moved to the back (this is some 10
years later) so I move it to the back. You say this is fine and I am happy to
have this behind us. Now you say that having it out back is not acceptable?
Where else do you want me to move it? All that is left is the front porch or on
the side of my house nearest my only neighbor.


And You! (points)
You said if I gave you the info you requested you'd help me. I gave you the
info and now you have every reason to NOT want to help me? If this is how you
felt why not say so in the first place? You also berate me, put me down, insult
me and make claims that are patently false and lies to boot. And you wonder why
I want nothing to do with you?

Gripes to the bitch that is my daughter's mother.  I really can't stand that
woman.  I don't know how I ever did *anything* with her.

She thinks she can chastise me for an outfit with the shit she sends her in???
Seriously, a blue tunic/shirt with black leggings...how does that not match?
Black matches everything but all black.  Ya know, like you fucking dressed her
a few weeks ago...in all black...like shes a fucking ninja or something.

Or how about this past Saturday when you dressed her in a shirt and pink
tights...it was a shirt, not a dress.  You basically sent her to me without any
pants on.  Tights != leggings.  Even I know that shit.

"Ghetto" clothes eh?  No.  Brand new at Kohls and Old Navy in the last month or
two.  In fact, I think it was the first time for that shirt even...I can't
remember, but for sure, very new!

I am in agreement with my fiance that custody is now our top priority in terms
of bills, etc.  Saving up for an attorney.  Congrats, you have finally broken
the camels back, and that camel is going to land on your fat, broke ass.  I've
been nice.  I've been tolerant.  I've kept the peace.  But, enough is enough.
You can continue to ask favors of me, yet this shit keeps going on.

that's okay, because 30 minutes after dinner was served, I still don't have any
tea, hot or cold. Thank you, I love you too.

so much easier to quit and get a job instead of fighting people to get data and

these jobs.  I keep saying it's ok, I'd still be able to finish.  But I know
I'd end up putting it on the shelf to finish "later".  Why were these jobs

not hire anyone because a grant didn't come through, so you need to reevaluate
what to do. I know you knew a long time ago you didn't get that grant. I know
that you're sorry, and you wanted to hire me. I appreciate that. I just wish

You've made every indication possible that your office cannot accomodate much
more, and yet what anybody would classify as office materials continue to have
an overwhelming presence here.  You get pissy and act all put upon if I hand
you books and papers to transfer over and deal with accordingly, much of which
gets tossed!  In the meantime you remain supremely indifferent when they sit
here doing nothing, while anything else NOT work-related to you, sits around in
boxes.  Your heavy books do not need to sit here and I don't want to house and

Another Yossarian@rss.iscabbs.com — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 17:50:00 -0600

Seriously?  I mean, how much did I flip out the last time you used one of my
travel mugs?  So, you know how pissed I get when my tea tastes like coffee. 
Did you just not care? Yeah, it seems like a little thing, but at the end of
the day, it's about respect.  You know I hate it, yet you used my FAVORITE mug
for your damned coffee.  "I'll get you a new one."  Really?  Why bother? 
You'll just use it again.  I know you're going to look at this like me making a
big deal out of nothing, but dammit, I have specifically asked you not to use
it and you did it anyway.  Does it really matter how serious it is?  Oh, and
good luck finding it.  I've never seen them for sale, that one was a gift.

Trillian@rss.iscabbs.com — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 18:49:00 -0600

Addendum

Gripes to family members, when I offer up last years family addresses and ask
for updates, and one of my Aunts gives me one line per email to say which are
wrong, but not give me updates! Then I ask for the new addresses and she gives
them to me line by line.

And the NEXT day she mentions I have hers wrong.

And after I post an update, another aunt updates HER information.

I hate getting my cards back, and having to resend them.
If someone doesnt get a card, oh my god, they will be forced to gossip!

Ive lost the Merry in my Christmas already.

And gripes GALORE to the countdown in my head to surgery. It's bad enough when
you count down to a holiday, but when you add two to get the countdown to
having your leg operated on, and it is still 4 weeks out, ... lame. and
Stressful. I dont want to think about it all the time!

And yet, this is my brain with or without drugs. Must worry until all big
worries about crutches, casts, baths, exercise, slips, falls, navigating my
house, all figured out.

Two steps forward and four more weeks to go.

Trillian@rss.iscabbs.com — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 18:43:00 -0600

Gripes to the cat being a screamer now. What happened to my shy kitten, and why
is she trying to drive me insane? I mean, we gave her attention, we did the
usual bedtime routine, and yet she screamed for 15 mins and whined for 15 more.
Then I gave up and went on the couch with my sleep CD. When that didnt work 45
minutes in, I knew something else was wrong. And yes...

Gripes to thinking today was Saturday, thus thinking oh I already took my meds!
Pfft. IDJIT. Dose all my meds out for the next two weeks with a calendar in
front of me,... gotta get a calendar that doesnt put Sat/Sun on shared page
just to be sure Im not too idiotic and might do this again. Or get an alarm
clock to sit in front of my meds. Meh.

Gripes to not being able to find the bottle of muscle relaxers. It's pretty
much got to be inside a 3 foot radius, and yet Im too scatterbrained to find
it.

I want to calm myself and find the stuff and go to SLEEP. I went to bed at
10:15 and at 12:45 Im still trying to get to SLEEP. Bah. Fuck.

I will do whatever it takes not to make these mistakes again!

Gripes to feeling like a loser.
And to the usual monthly sadness and madness of PMDD.
And to not being able to really feel the happiness I should be feeling.

This will pass. But the fact that this too will pass isnt all that reassuring.
It's more like, this shit, I will face, then some new shit will come along.
And when you dont love what you do, that sounds like a sentence behind bars.

Along those lines, congrats, jackasses.  You could've covered my medical bills
almost two years ago.  Now, you get to cover them AND pay me and my lawyer
almost $5,000.  Yes, I'm glad to be getting an extra $3200, but this whole
ordeal has been a complete pain in my ass--almost more than the one I got from
the fall.  I never wanted to sue anyone, especially my employer.  But I wasn't
going to let you avoid what was clearly your responsibility.  Jackasses.

Gripes to people who have been sleeping just fine through my working out on my
treadmill _every morning_ for the past *YEAR*, usually with music playing, then
choose today of all days to whine piteously at the condo mailing list about the
injustice of having their sleep disturbed by my exercise.

I don't mind you having an issue with my generating noise that disturbs you,
but just be a !$@# adult and TELL ME about it rather than making a stinking
public issue out of it.

Also, pot, kettle, VERY black as I am regularly roused from my slumbers by your
screeching spawn smashing the walls and yelling at the top of their lungs when
they wake in the morning.

God condo living is a great big festering carbuncle on the ass of my personal
universe.  I wish we could have afforded a single family home.

For the love of all that is holy...if you're directing traffic, fucking direct
it.  Don't just wave your hands abstractly and then yell at people for not
knowing what you mean.  You wave me on to go (after I sat there for 10 minutes
watching you let the rest of the world go by), only to be cut off by a fucking
steam roller.  I mean, really???  So, there I sit, in the middle of the
intersection while you watch your friends work on the road and there's no way
I'm going anywhere.  So, yes, after sitting forever, I decided to take my
chances with the OTHER road construction.  Took me twice as long to get home
from school today.  And, I'd like to point out, I wouldn't even had to go into
school if some douche hadn't forgotten to remove the 500g of picric acid in the
chemistry department.  How can an entire department be such a fucking joke? 
So, entire building has to be evacuated in the middle of lab.  I mean, yay, I
got to go home early on Wednesday, but then had to go in today to clean up
stuff the undergrads should've cleaned up.

Gripes to county supervisors who vote to not fund a women's health center
because they make referrals for abortions. They ignored the fact that they
provide other valuable services for women in the county. But it all made sense

SilverEdge@rss.iscabbs.com — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 11:25:00 -0500

Gripes to inconsiderate providers.  Your medical assistants report slowness
with the electronic medical records software.  I look into it and determine it
is a wireless connection issue.  I contact the guy in charge of the physical
devices and ask him to look at it.  All indications point to an access point
needing a reboot.  I ask you three providers if we can restart the access point
so that things can get back to normal.  "Not right now, lets do it 2.5 hrs from
now."  O.o

Seriously...?  You can't take 3-5 minutes now (it wasn't even that long) so
that everyone can get back to normal speeds?  So instead, you're going to make
your MAs frustrated and suffer through speeds up to 22x slower than normal?
Don't you realize this will make you *more* behind in your patient load?

Next time, I'm not asking...  I'll plead ignorance...something like, "what oh?
everyone dropped completely?  Must have overloaded, let me look at
it...hmmm...oh, here we go (and 2 mins later) it's back up.  should be good as
new..."

Yeah...fuck lame ass endusers who then call me repeatedly the rest of the
morning cause of issues related to the tablets...  Do you not understand, that
none of this would be an issue if your fucking providers would agree to the
damn reboot??????  Complain to THEM.  I'm done.
