ACK

All day I've been doing great coding here at work (all day after KTRU) and then I was asked to reboot a machine. I rebooted it properly I thought, but turns out I mis-chose one of the startup options.

Ack ack ack ack

30 minutes in mental agony standing behind my boss as he tried to figure out how to fix it. I had no idea how to help, AND I'm supposed to be somewhere at 6:30.

I called my 6:30 group and told them I'd be late; they were okay, but it didn't fix anything here.

Ack ack ack

So he fixed it temporarily, and now I'm asked to figure out why it broke in the first place. The registry is corrupted, and some environment variables have no values. causally related? or just stupid microsoft?

With Love anyway...
