When he's in there working, he looks like the Phantom from the Phantom of the Opera at that huge organ where he plays the creepy music. Every once in awhile I hear strange music and a maniacal laugh coming from his room, but when I peek in to see what's going on, I see his face with a complete look of innocence on it. Sometimes I wonder if he's just trying to gaslight me?!?! Either that or he's finally gotten a program to work bug free!

sodding Vista ... give it choice to clean install onto one of three hard drives and it comes up and says it doesn't like any one of them. 2 days later and much cussing, disconnect 2 of the drives and hey presto - it cooperates.....moral for Vista - don't give it any choice to make - moral for Microsoft - you crazy loons had this same problem in the beta stages, and you couldn't sort it out in the meantime...... !!!!!!

well frick of frick and frack fame may have finally loaded one to many straws onto the camel's back. he decided to light into me when I was on the phone with not one, but two technical support people from not one, but two seperate agencies. the phone was on speaker as I had been entering a lot of stuff into the computer while they were watching on a remote connection. he was in full throttle mode. started with the door between our rooms SLAMMING open! him hitting the door jam with both fists and him screaming at me. I totally kept my cool, and got these other techs to write up statements. I just got back from Equal Employment where I found that you cannot file against a co-worker, but only against your supervisor. I LIKE my supervisor, I do not want to get her into trouble. I also DO realize that she is at fault for not nipping this in the bud earlier. I will hold off on any of that sort of activity for as long as possible. I have a message into the correct person at HR.

I guess I'm as mad as hell and not going to take it anymore!

Understandable. Your day ought to be done soon ... (I think it is now 2:26 in your time zone, so maybe not soon enough!) Anyway, relax. You are in the right!
