Witness the violence inherent in the sysadmin!

I'm supposed to test for Second Degree in October, so it's time to ramp up my training in preparation. I started last night by doing two classes back to back...two hours of sparring.

Help...I can't move my limbs.

Oh, and I've got email from culfinriel. She wants to know when we're all getting together since she's in town for the weekend.

God damn it.

I WAS going to leave work a little early today, since I got up early, but noooo. The fucking voicemail system that just got replaced two weeks ago? Dead as a fucking doornail:

...
IDE_Controller::reset(): isBusy
IDE_Controller::reset(): isBusy
IDE_Controller::reset(): isBusy
IDE_Controller::reset(): isBusy
IDE_Controller::reset(): isBusy

IDE_Controller::reset(): isBusy
IDE_Controller::reset(): isBusy
IDE_Controller::reset(): isBusy
IDE_Controller::reset(): isBusy

...

ad infinitum

What the fuck have I done to the universe?

God damn it.

Why is it...

That every fucking time I have to deal with Avaya for any fucking reason it makes me want to kill people?

So, the voice mail module in the phone switch (the one that's a whole two weeks old) is fucking dead, as per my previous post. They courier a replacement module out, but it's got a newer major firmware release on it. Fine, whatever.

The software that I have to administer the voicemail? Only works with modules with the same major release number. Great, I'll just pop on over to Avaya's web site and get the appropriate version of the systems admin software. Oh, no I won't.

YOU CAN'T DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE FROM THEM THAT ONLY WORKS WITH THEIR FUCKING HARDWARE!

I've spent over an hour on the fucking phone getting transferred from support group to support group to support group. Our site ID in their database doesn't have any of our actual equipment associated with it. AND NO ONE CAN FUCKING FIX THIS APPARENTLY.

I swear to god, I'm going to drive by the Reston office on my way home and burn it to the fucking ground.
