work rant
dear fucking god are people stupid. well, we released version 2.0 of our app just before the holidays, and finally sunset the old, creaky, obsolete and occasionally just incorrect DOS apps it built to replace. guess what? in the year that version 1.0 was in production, it turns out approximately three people were actually using it. so, with this release, we’ve got all the problems of the initial roll-out. meaning, no one knows how to use it, there is no training and none of the users can figure it out. because they are, by and large, stupid. did i mention that? the calls to the help desk are starting to wind down, but i still have to call these assholes. and i hate it. hate it. hate it. there is a reason i am a programmer and it’s not a love of technology. no, instead, it’s because i don’t have to deal with people. now, they are forcing me to do it. fucking bastards. they didn’t give me a large enough raise for this sort of crap.
