that boy has issues
So today at the office I was playing with the presumed dead spare router for shits and giggles, and I was like "hey this thing works" then Michael and David came into the office "uh there's no network here." In a flash of insight I realized what had driven everyone batty the day before (and resulted in the misdiagnosis of dead router): if you put two of these stupid Symantec router/firewall boxes on the same "WAN" switch, they start talking to eachother and Bad Shit happens. I was absolutely flabbergasted. I babbled a bit, I unplugged the "dead" router, I babbled some more, Michael confirmed my hypothesis, I babbled some more, then I gibbered, then my face contorted into an expression best described as "hopping mad." I was unable to speak for about a minute after that, just jerking my hands about spastically. Michael understood -- not only were these little yellow boxes from Symantec unbelievably braindead, but another contractor had wasted dozens of hours and returned 2 of these damned boxes in the process. Just another one of life's moments of stupidity-on-top-of-stupidity with a twist of "we have to work with these people" and a dash of "god do we have to do everything ourselves" thrown in for flavor (the office network is not my job).
That's not really very interesting, and really I don't give a shit. But it took me until about 12 hours later to realize "Oh my god David thinks I'm a raving god damn lunatic."
