Nightmares upon Nightmares


Sometimes i wonder why i do this IT stuff for a living. It's driving me insane! Late last night, or early this morning, it appears that there was a large power outage near our location, 2+ hours, which is far to long for the Batter backup to hold up everything. When the battery went down, and the Exchange server took a dump, it corrupted the Mail database, and now i'm going through the possibly 6 hour process of recovering that database properly (No guarantees from Microsoft).

I should have never installed an Exchange server, i should have forced them to use a Linux mail server (sendmail, procmail, whatever), they are far more reliable, and it just makes sense. If i ever make it out of this place, and go somewhere else that's in need of a mail server, i will never look Microsoft's way, i swear.

Now i just want to gun them down.

why am i this way every day lately? It really makes me wish that i had gone into Law enforcement, because at least on days like this, i could be beating up a Vagrant, or a minority, and all would be well.....

Ug.

Ahhh... beating up vagrants. So many have this as their personal hobby, I'm sure. Think of it this way, at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and maybe some day, you won't have to do this anymore. Yay! :o)
