Bought Castrol engine oil.

Would think you'd have some funky Euro brand there I get Castrol here sometimes when it's on sale

There are funky European brands but the Jag dealer recommended Castrol Magnatec for my Jag, so who am I to differ?

We had to deal with a partial system crash during the scary parts of this morning's duties.

After doing hand writing over a corporate sign batch 1248 total that would not load into the network printer (representing the ad for Sunday that we were working on getting right -  FUCK!!!) ...

... the damn thing dropped two hours late but none of it was right.








Tonight, company wide, our corporate project staff will go into every mainland store and set up at least seven or even twelve of fourteen in some of the big stores - I will go in to for a few hours tonight, too, to make sure ours work - BUT, we are going to get all knew computers in the USA.

That means something like twelve thousand brand new computers logged in and set up in one night. (No fucking WAY!!)


I have doubts that this will actually work.

I have no clue as to how many hundreds of millions of dollars this night will cost the company, not yet to consider the many dollars and months of expensive labor to de-bug this system afterward, but it is a bit overdue, in actuality.  (My work station still booted into a WinXP network (hard-driveless) environment this morning)

I literally don't know what to say, but that I hope the problems and annoyances will be few and small (fat chance, but I can hope.)

the usual mundane things.

I bet it sounds good on paper but will it work?  Let us know if it works hope so for whoever came up with it but there are just too many things that can go bad

Remember "Murphy's Law"  -  Anything that can go wrong, will.

I have mentioned  ad infinitum    on this very site that I consider Murphy to be an incessant, deluded, plane-thinking, moronic, infantile optimist  for not even having considered any part of what can NOT go wrong that surely will.

I feel certain that the Murphys of our little world have gone over this update with a fine-tooth comb, but they all kept their eyes focused upon what they think of as weak spots, without even coming to work with their shirts inside out or trying to drink their coffee upside down from the wrong side of the cup, much less imagining if such a wild animal as a combined network of thousands of feral computers, all left available to the public can actually be harnessed into a cohesive pulling team, regardless of the size of the whip.

Murphy is an optimist!

DirtDawg, don't laugh, but do you work for the Military or something like McDonalds?  They seem to be equally confused and screwed up and they're the largest corporations I could think of that would need so many computers and stuff going on line at once or whatever it was you did tonight.
