I told 'em and I told 'em and I told 'em this was gonna happen.

Exchange is down today - which means no e-mail.

Bernie and Buehler keep asking me what to do and I keep repeating, "I don't know." I tried to explain to them, back when they did it, that getting rid of all the tech people would not magically turn me into a network administrator, but they insisted everything would be peachy-keen and it wouldn't be a problem. They could hire someone, they said, if necessary. A company that could come by and help us if we had problems. But of course they never quite got around to it. And now there are problems.

I can, of course, reboot the server. And I'm doing it. But so could they and what I can't understand is why they felt I was the only one who could push the button? All I can do is push the button and I'm fairly certain their fingers all work just as well as mine.

They're afraid, that's what it is. They want the button pushed, but they're afraid to push it themselves.

Dorks.

P.S. Okay, later Buehler said I was being "pissy" about the problem. I have to say I like how he can be afraid to push the button and it's okay, but if I'm afraid to push the button, I'm "pissy."
