So, this is somewhat handy, being able to update from work.

Which I am doing now, much to your dismay.

That's right. Now you can get regular updates to my annoying behavior. Just wait until the Rez-ly one gives me the promised 'mood' icons.

Muwa-to the-ha-to the-hahaha.

It's somewhat stressful, being the guy who's willing to step up to a task. I'm asked to do an awful lot some days, and it really strains me to do so much. Now, even when I don't step up, they ask me to do everything.

Today, my list of duties was:

1.) Answer the phones, as always.

2.) Update servers with information that enables other people to help take afformentioned calls.

3.) Do multiple reports involving a long and arcane proceedure which I am not at liberty to explain. (Trust me. It takes about an hour per report, and I've got 18 of them.)

4.) Do ADDITIONAL reports covering the entire histories of a few specific titles. (You know, when it takes an hour to do a one week report....)

So I manage to convince my supervisor to share at least one of the duties around. That being the server thingie.

Hooray.

Then it takes me forever struggling with a program that my system is not, ultimately, equipped to handle, to try and GET this information.

Which then locks up said program.

So, I struggle to generate an alternate report using html instead of a word document. And it works!

This requires a bit of editing on my part, but I don't even need notepad -- Composer does it for me in about an hour.

I have a single completed report in about an hour, sans the repair job it will honestly require. Great.

And then I'm told, "Well, don't worry, they changed their minds."

Much dissatisfaction.
