Stupid Clients... SMACK!

For the past month at work I have been performing very intensive software testing on a specific client's upgrade, known as a Phase II Install. The requirements and specs all say that the OS is Windows 2000 and that's what we have been testing on. Our install team flew out to the client site in the Midwest and are ready to begin the install when they discover that the client... drumroll please dadadadadadadadadadadaDUM... has upgraded all of their PCs to Windows XP!!!! They never bothered to tell us. Now I get to start the testing all over again on Windows XP systems. Now I have to install XP the rest of the day and tomorrow. Fun, fun, fun. Stupid clients. They need a good old fashioned bitch slap.

No, no... I am complaining about stupid clients. Work is fine and it's nice environment too and a little touchy-feelie, which is fine by me. BTW it's the good kind of touch and not the bad kind of touch.

Perhaps your employer needs to get rid of the weasels who wouldn't know a command line if it was contined within the properties of a .pif file that they recieved in an e.mail.

P.S. You are not part of the weasel dynasty.
