Well I got up today and went into work. I got there and the day just went downhill. I had computers yesterday that went down all over the company because of the updates from Microsoft. It knocked out the Display Drivers on these machines. I had to go back and install them all over again in all the machines. Then today another Microsoft updated caused all machines that had an HP Scanner or Camera or printer with a card reader in it to lock up the machine anytime you tried to do anything. This is the report for that from Microsoft TechNet help if you want to see what I had to deal with. So I did what it said and it didn't fix it. I then called HP and spoke with 3 Techs in India (OMG) I called the Headquarters for HP and got in trouble with security because I went off on the TECH because I couldn't understand them and they knew nothing of what I was talking about. They thought I probably wanted to send them food and water or something. I then uninstalled windows 2 times and reinstalled and still didn't fix it. I then stayed after work to find out after I called Microsoft and was on hold for 1 hour and 45 min that it could be fixed within 12 seconds. With out having to do all the stuff I did. Why couldn't they put that on the tech help page. oh well. On top of all that, I found out I will be working more weekends and evenings now because our new CALL CENTER (211) can not go down for any reason during the day. So anything that I need to do that involves rebooting the servers needs to wait till after hours. So that is going to suck big time now. Then I found out after all the phone work and all that and getting all the offices ready for everything that they are going to move about 19 offices total around in the company and I need to redo all that. So I totally just lost it at work last night late and just was so upset for about 45 min and then I felt ok about stuff and left for the night. I came home and ate some left over's and then went to bed.
