That sounds frustrating, but in a fun way.
My job is frustrating but not in a fun way.

I set up a database program for like 7 people to enter contact information & stuff on. All the people (including me)went to off-site training for this system like 4 months ago, the program cost us thousands of dollars, and it took me 2 months to set the thing up and migrate all the old data over and shit. Now this morning, our IT trainer had to hold a 2-hr training session for them AGAIN because they haven't used the thing AT ALL over the past 4 months since it was finished and didn't know what the fuck to do. Waste of time on everyone's part.

Sorry. I bitch. I whine.

This thread needs a picture of Bjork on roller skates.

Josh, Tim is meeting me at Leo's, so you don't have to do a sympathy-rendezvous if you don't want to. We'll probably just talk about NESE and Coldplay and other gay things anyway.
