Broken Systems

livingdebThe broken system du jour is my computer again. I again couldn't get to any of my documents. This time the network administrator decided it was my messed up firewall that was to blame, which he had tried but failed to replace months ago. There is a new computer waiting for me, and that will fix my problems eventually. Meanwhile, I can access my documents via the web.
However, I cannot print anything. I know it's the same problem because when I search the network to find a printer to "add," my computer can't see any. I don't have the heart to call my network administrator again today.
And two, count them, two reports that were supposed to have been run by today and that will give me enough work to do for the entire month, were not run. One was forgotten, for the second month in a row, out of two months total so far. The other report someone was afraid to run until feeling more sure that a certain broken something has been fixed and so is waiting for another guy to placate these fears.
Well, so that's fine because I've been volunteered to help with another project anyway, which I normally wouldn't have time for. Except that apparently the delegater has no time to see me today. The one time proposed was during a meeting I have, I replied that I was available all other times until 5:00, and there has been no response.
I'm tired and I want to go home.
