Lou

[ljplicease]

I have this server at work. Actually, it's my server. It belongs to me. I paid for it out of my own pocket to do things for me. It was never intended to be used at work, but the server that my patron gave me died and I needed to replace it fast.

I didn't even ask to administrate this ridiculous server, it was thrust on me when they got rid of Wayne. When they gave me the job, they didn't give me the resources to run it, they just expected it to work. When the machine goes down, it's an emergency, but when I ask for anything I'm ignored.

Lou is the guy who is supposed to help me move the server software to the department web server. There is actually something worse than refusing to do your job. That is saying that you will do your job, but then never doing it. That's Lou.

I talked to Lou, as you asked.

He told me there was zero chance of getting new hardware and that he will instead look into moving the server software to the department web server.

and he does what he usually does which is he says that he will get back to me tomorrow, and then he never does.

This has been going on since last year when I originally asked for new hardware and he originally suggested moving the server software to the department web server.

I still know nothing at all about the department web server, and thus I cannot honestly say if the server software on DoubleThink can be moved to the department web server.

I'm tempted to pull the plug on my computer right now and take it back home and let them deal with it.
