The Caffeinated Penguin

I'm pissed. I've been pissed for a couple days. Behind schedule, and of course, and I helped with the server migration, and it's been two fucking weeks since I touched it, and the guy talking with the database company hasn't done anything, so it's still “broken” (which has more to do with the busted-ass Windows 3.1 database than anything else), but now inquiries are turning from “oh, well fix it as soon as you can” to “it's broken, you broke it, you need to fix it now. You need to move it back to Windows NOW, because it worked there, you destroyed thousands of man-hours of work”, and I said that the day after we moved, because I knew this was going to happen. So, I backed off, let other people handle it, and guess what – it's not fixed yet. Meanwhile, people are getting on my shit for it. Of course, I am responsible – I got a real sysadmin hired, I pushed for the Linux move, all that. Once the infrastructure was in place, when this problem first came up, I was like “Move it back. Move it back NOW.” but I was overruled. But it's still my fault.

I'm ready to walk out, spend 3 days moving all my shit back to my parents' basement and head out somewhere. Anywhere. Leave everything behind and start fresh. I'm sick of this bullshit. I go out on a limb and get fucked for it. Not just the server thing, everything.

Not realistic, but it makes a nice dream.

I suppose it doesn't matter much. Like Chapin says – “But you can travel on ten thousand miles, and still stay where you are.”

Fuck.
