Slim Pickens, DiamondGirl's replacement, has only been on his own for two days and I'm already not impressed with him.

Certainly the last thing I wanted to discover when I came in this morning was that he'd moved all of my files from my hard drive to the network.

Don't get me wrong...I believe in backups. But backing up files (which I did request) is not the same thing as moving files, you know? (I mean, what exactly does he expect me to do if the stupid network is down? Just twiddle my thumbs? Especially when I get here around 7:30 most days and he doesn't show up until 9:00 or 9:30?)

Anyhow. I had to stop and copy them all back down, which wasted 25 minutes.

While I was at it, I deleted 90 Mg worth of files left-over from previous users of this machine.

Also? Something he did made my computer take 12 minutes to start up this morning. No doubt it was changing all of those "personal settings" to the network ones. Now I have to figure out how to change everything back so the stupid thing resets to the hard drive in the morning and not the stupid network. (Among other things, our network is very slooow sometimes.) I'm not sure how to do that...to set it so the computer goes to the hard drive and not the network when it boots up.

Pisses me off.

Also? Our e-mail is down. Again. His expertise at network and e-mail stuff was, I was told, why he was hired.

Hah.

And on other annoying fronts? Bossyboots remains near the top of my shitlist. A client called this morning to report that she's been waiting a long time for someone from her to contact her about a problem she has. Seems Bossyboots told her a few weeks ago he'd "get right on it" and she's been waiting patiently ever since. I went and asked Moe and Bossyboots never mentioned the problem to him. (To be fair, not that I feel any urge to do so since this is after all my forum, Bossyboots says he asked Curly to do it. That's quite possible but it was Bossyboots' responsibility to follow-up and make sure it was done.)

Hooray! I got BtVS S2 last night and started watching it...and today S3 and S4 arrived in the morning UPS shipment!
