sigh...woke up to a puddle in my hallway. Thank you Annoying Upstairs Neighbors!!! I'm taking the morning off to clean it up and get my apartment decent for a maintience guy.

If this doesn't exemplify why computer techs hate users I don't know what does. The old VP of IS just called me on my cell (I still have to give him support per some mysteeeerious contract).
Dr.P: Microsoft just sent me the new version of office. I'm installing it and it's asking me wether to do a new install or an upgrade. What do I choose?
Me: [thinking]Since when does MS just send people office?[/thinking]We've been testing Office 2003 and were planning on deploying it after Service Pack 1 due in a couple of months.
Dr.P: [silence as this isn't what he wants to know]
Me: [sigh]In our testing we didn't have any problems with upgrading but I can't say anything about compatibility problems you may have yet.
Dr.P: Thank you!

sigh...my life sucks sometimes. Now he's going to have all these unique problems that I've never seen because I'm just starting to test Office 2003 myself. I'm just dreading this. Back to cleaning...

Dr. P is funny like that... When you tell him something he doesn't want to hear, he just gets quiet. I was helping out Nathan Hiller at Dr. P's house once, and we told him something he didn't want to hear... I thought his head was going to explode. :P

he probably already install the upgrade and just wanted to figure out whether he did the right thing... that man drives me insane...he'd be in his office early in the morning and I knew I'd have fix his computer depending on the tone of his voice...and if I heard him sigh I knew he was having yet another Powerpoint problem...

Hey.. you know there is an LSP 2 position open, right? Apparently they didn't find anyone worthy of it, so they reopened the advertisement.
