Alrighty then! Needless to say, once again we ran out of IP addresses!! I was really worked up over this because I had 3 separate people come up and tell me that need to make sure that I release the IP after I finish "imaging" a machine. Yeah, that's how close to the edge they are. Needless to say I went batshit right after that (along with one or two other SAs) and wrote to Mr. Eugene for help on how to explain to these Server FUCKS how you configure this properly. Now I only say this cause I got several lines of bullshit when I told them they should change the lease expiration to less days. Whatever!

Now I realize I have talked alot of shit about this place, but let me tell you the neat stuff. First of all, the WHOLE network is 100Mb (even between the buildings) and it is fast. Second, they run Windows 2000 on all the desktops (although most servers are still NT 4). The image they install vis'a'vis "Ghost" is very stable and quick (even though it pulls over the network). Fourth, they have some pretty nice perks like the automatic hot drink machines (two per floor). These a like mini-vending machines for coffee, cocoa, tea. Not to mention the water /ice machine combo (the industrial kind). The place is in a Tech developement area which means the traffic is not bad and the parking is great (3 story parking garage next to the main building). I noticed that a certian "VirusScan" company is next door.

Well, there, I gave them the respect that they deserve for the good stuff. On the other hand they have now been able to sit at their desks a little more lately. I actually got commented to (from one of them) about how we are "all over the tickets." I said it's nothing special, I do this everyday and my queue is always being worked. I've also been showing them the merits of closing non-contacting customers. No reply - no work! They are learning, but it's taking some time.

Hasta la vista!
