lostcarparkI emailed our tech support to find out the address of a network share I need to map. Just got a reply back, "If you just reboot your machine now you will get those drive mappings that you were looking for." They use a system called ScriptLogic to make the settings on our PCs the way they want them when we log in.
Rebooting my machine means shutting down my email, browser, text editor, unix windows, call logging system, two database management tools, three software development tools, and a word processor with the spec I'm working from. Then the PC has to copy my profile over our slow network. After the reboot, I have to log on, wait for the profile to copy and reopen all of the applications and try to remember where I was before the whole pointless process started. I've already done this once today, and I'm not doing it again before quitting time.
Of course it probably wouldn't take much longer than writing this entry...

Crazy(that's the theory, anyway)Soph
