yeah, well, russ i've had a pretty 'rare' day.

i've fought to install plan 9 on 'coma' [my laptop]
and frankly i'm kinda sick of it.  3 thousand unix/linux
commands do not inspire me (coma runs '98).

i would be more than happy to install it on a partition
that jis ust waiting for it, but i don't like using or
fighting windows.

this was my day:

[i am between contracts, on full pay.  it's my company's
job to find me another one]

at 1530 i got called out to a site i'd never seen and
was told to stay there until it was fixed.  an hour later
i was there.  it bordered on (or was) blackmail.

i don't do that shit.  i go for an interview, i sign a
contract, i go to the job.  i am not employed to do
this stuff.

i am gonna fuck this headhunter's shit up.

at least tomorrow i can wear my network police jacket.

funny the [network] problem dissappeared when everyone went home.
so i left.  some massive collision problem on a DHCP class C net
100.?.? -- fucken amateurs.

just got into 'kilgore' mode; stormed around, telling people:

    do this
    do that
    get me this
    get my that
    NOW!

if i'd had the smarts i woulda taken coma.  it has the shit
to find the problem.

funny thing was, even tragically hungover, on no lunch, i knew
how to do thas shit.  hardware i'd never even seen, but it ain't
that hard -- divide and conquer.

boy am i pissed.


so, russ, cut me some slack, tonight.
