i can’t hit our printer, can’t hit our frickin source server, and the help desk hasn’t answered me at all. i’m getting really really pissed. how the hell am i supposed to work under these circumstances?

i leave tomorrow night at 7pm.. that’s just over 20 hours from now. i have printed out signs that count down by hours, and every hour i hang another one from the ceiling. i’m down to 20 hours, and counting… counting..

i’m going mad, mad i tell you – mad as a hatter – it’s the only way. everyone here is a parasite, an evil worm that wants to burrow into your ear, and make you into a drone, or worse – a marketer.

just came from a meeting from my feature group. things are a mess for every group. stuff isn’t done, the build is breaking regularly, servers aren’t talking to servers, daemons are crashing. it’s a big mess. someone just got dragged in kicking and screaming, to replace me when i leave for 5 days. oh joy.

i’m going into super-high crunch mode at work, so for the next 3 days or so i think i’ll make a special effort to journal little bits of insanity as we approach our beta.
