So we have a half-baked, home-made accounting system that is utter crap. I was up all night trying to generate a discount PRN file. It's supposed to take 3 hours to run. However, they have it running from a webportal. Meaning your page times out. So you have to refresh at the 3 hour mark, hoping that it is actually done. Then you are prompted to save the file. Fubar all around.
No sleep, much fail.
Also, if you want to see the absolute worst way to manage any department (and especially an IT department) come see my supervisor in action. Truly and insecure, petty man. Micromanages to the nth degree and doesn't want to admit that things he is not familiar with are best handled by those with expertise in those areas.
